Guys I need your opinions.
I'm thinking of starting a budget build from scratch, budget is 拢400.
Athlon II X3 450
Biostar A880GU3 mATX mobo
4GB DDR3 (thinking Corsair, Crucial or Kingston here)
Standard 500gb Seagate hard drive or maybe stretch to a 1Tb
Standard LiteOn 24x DVD
Coolermaster Elite 330 or 342, need opinions
BeQuiet 530W Pure Power - 120mm Fan, Dual 12v rails, 5x sata, 2x pci-e
Either a 1Gb GTX 460 or an ATI 6850
All this comes to around 拢420, I've got a copy of W7
Games I'll be playing are: BF3, Metro, Crysis, Civ, Starcraft, Skyrim, Brink, Batman, Deus Ex, Duke, Diablo, etc...
1. Is it worth waiting for AMD's Bulldozer or is an Athlon II x3 enough for BF3?
2. Which case is best, the aforementioned or any others around the 拢30 mark? Ie. What would be best for the components and expansion?
3. Are BeQuiet a good brand for PSU's?
4. Is it worth getting the slightly older (mature drivers) GTX460 or the newer (young drivers) 6850? Which would be more future proof?
Cheers!Need advice on a BF3/Crysis 2/Skyrim rig?
not max settings on these games
go for the ati 6850
make sure your motherboard can unlock the athlon's fourth core.Need advice on a BF3/Crysis 2/Skyrim rig?
First, props to your hardware choices!
I happen to have Crysis 2 here and it only rarely spikes above 50% on a quad core, which generally means it is really only capable of fully using a dual core, so you may be better of with a faster dual core ( phenom II @ 3.0GHz, then try to unlock those extra cores :-) ).
The L3 cache on the phenom II will make a 10-15% difference in games, so that is a serious consideration.
To answer your questions directly:
1. Yes, if you can wait for Bulldozer-based CPUs, then do so.
These CPUs should offer considerably better gaming performance than the phenom II, and possibly even more so than the i7.
This doesn't mean you'll be able to afford one, however, just that it will cause the phenom II line to drop in price as retailers dump their inventory. This effect may not be as pronounced as previous generations, however, due to Bulldozer's incompatibility with AM3, thus requiring new motherboards to utilize.
2. Case: You will likely need to live with your decision for the longest time of all your components, so it is not a good idea to skimp too much here. CoolerMaster cases have RAVE reviews, so your choices seem perfectly fine.
One thing you may want to consider to save money is a mATX case to go with your mATX board. If you don't need the expansion, then you can save some money and some room.
3. Power Supply: I have never used a BeQuiet PSU so I can only refer you to reviews. But this is one area where you should NOT save money. You get what you pay for, every time. If you go with a lesser-known brand, you should go with their middle-higher end products. That said, the reviews for your power supply and their higher models are rather positive. They seem to be inline with the likes of RAIDMax, which is a brand I have come to trust. A power supply should cost about $30 ( U.S. ) or more. Less should be a red flag.
4. AMD HD 6850 all the way. There is even a chance you can upgrade the card to a 6870 for some free performance. I would flip the other way, however, if you were comparing GTX 570 vs 6970... but that is out of the price range entirely.
5. You didn't ask, but the prices for DVDRW drives are nothing. Go with an LG with lightscribe, just make your update the firmware on the drive ( they are bad about shipping drives with outdated firmware ).
Good luck!

What Can I play on My Computer?
I like fps. I don't play anything else.
here's my problem.
I've got a laptop, can't have desktop, I move around a lot.
Specs: 1.90 CPU
2G RAM
256MB VRAM (I'm not sure what this means)
No Graphics card I think. or if I do, NVIDA crapster model.
It works Half Life 2 fine. Screws up with episode 1, 2, Rainbow six vegas 2, Deus ex 2 with high graphic performance.
What can I play that is cool?
And what I mean by cool is; blowing heads clean off shoulders with an assault rifle. What Can I play on My Computer?
Half Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2 have glitches that cause lock-ups with some older graphics cards, so that's no surprise. I assume that if you were online, you'd be playing Counter-Strike, so let's consider some of the single-player FPS's that would be entertaining on your laptop.
--Rainbow Six and expansions (which I think you already have)
--Unreal Tournament 2004 (still fun, easy to jump in and out of)
--Jedi Knight Academy (lightsabers -- 'nuff said)
--Call of Duty 1-3 (not sure COD4 will work well on your rig)
--F.E.A.R. (may have to turn down settings, but much carnage)
--Far Cry (even more carnage)
--Aliens vs. Predator 2 (older game, but still a good one)
--Painkiller (another oldie but goodie)

Game recommendation for 360?
Recently I've been having seizures and I am no longer allowed to drive for six months and can't return to work until I can go for a large amount of time. So I'm stuck at home unable to leave the house for at least 2 weeks and I need to find a new game that I can play for approximately that time. That being said before someone gets on here with a smart crack at the fact that I shouldn't be playing games while having seizures they aren't the cause nor have I had one while playing video games. I have a very wide selection of games already so a list of games would be awesome. I'm a huge fan of RPGs but I like just about any kind of game except sports and racing games. Any ideas would be awesome! Thanks guys!
The games I already have are:
Assassin's Creed 1, 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations; Batman Arkham City and Asylum; Battlefield 3; Bioshock 1 and 2; Borderlands; COD MW, WAW, MW2, Black Ops, and MW3; Civilization Revolution; Crackdown 1 and 2; Dante's Inferno; Darksiders; Dark Souls; Dead Island; Dead Space 1 and 2; Deus Ex Human Revolution; Divinity II Eco Draconis; Dragon Age Origins and II; Dungeon Siege III; Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim; Enchanted Arms; Tom Clancy's End War; Fable I, II, and III; Fallout 3, and New Vegas; Fear 3; Final Fantasy XIII, and XIII-2; Guitar Hero II and III; Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, Reach, and Wars; Tom Clancy's Hawx; Hunted the Demon's Forge; Jurassic Park the Game; The Last Remnant; Left 4 Dead 1 and 2; Legendary; Lord of the Rings Conquest, The Third Age, and War in the North; Mass Effect 1 and 2; Mercenaries 2 World in Flames; Quantum Theory; Rage; The Rise of the Argonauts; Sacred 2 Fallen Angels; Saints Row 2 and the Third; The Sims 3; Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords, Battlefront II, The Force Unleashed, The Force Unleashed II; Too Human; and last but not least Transformers the Game.Game recommendation for 360?
Here's a list of games I found to be great and exist for the 360 and I'll describe some positives and their level type:
Prototype. Sandbox action game with stealth elements.
Sonic Unleashed. Great variety with well-polished day and night levels.
Crash Mind Over Mutant. Free-roam platformer with good combat and co-op.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. Level-select format with great combat, an emphasis on co-op and puzzles.
Bayonetta. Great comedy game similar to Darksiders, but with a lighter story tone.
Upcoming games include Prototype 2, Darksiders II and Asura's Wrath.
Notes: Crash Mind Over Mutant and Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon have prequels available on XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade) which are called Crash of the Titans and The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning. They're pretty cheap from what I know and worth checking out as well. My apologies about your seizure. Hope you find some good games and get well soon.
I had about 10 games in mind to tell you to play but as I read through your list you already have every single one I was going to say. Where do you find the time to play that much. I bought Skyrim 4 weeks ago and have only been able to play it for like 4 hours a week let alone any other games...Game recommendation for 360?
I would get Transformers 2 and 3. They are quite good.
Congratulations for FinalFantasy 13-2 though. At least I'm not the only one that owns the game.
Sorry for the seizures as well. Hope this helps.
I'm sorry to hear about the seizures you get. It's horrible to have to deal with diseases like that. You've got most of the games I like lol. But looking at that list, it seems like you're missing the Rockstar games. Is there a reason for that? If not, I recommend you check out Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire.Game recommendation for 360?

Psychonauts, if you can find it is a fun game, LA Noire is awesome if you like mystery.

The games I already have are:
Assassin's Creed 1, 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations; Batman Arkham City and Asylum; Battlefield 3; Bioshock 1 and 2; Borderlands; COD MW, WAW, MW2, Black Ops, and MW3; Civilization Revolution; Crackdown 1 and 2; Dante's Inferno; Darksiders; Dark Souls; Dead Island; Dead Space 1 and 2; Deus Ex Human Revolution; Divinity II Eco Draconis; Dragon Age Origins and II; Dungeon Siege III; Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim; Enchanted Arms; Tom Clancy's End War; Fable I, II, and III; Fallout 3, and New Vegas; Fear 3; Final Fantasy XIII, and XIII-2; Guitar Hero II and III; Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, Reach, and Wars; Tom Clancy's Hawx; Hunted the Demon's Forge; Jurassic Park the Game; The Last Remnant; Left 4 Dead 1 and 2; Legendary; Lord of the Rings Conquest, The Third Age, and War in the North; Mass Effect 1 and 2; Mercenaries 2 World in Flames; Quantum Theory; Rage; The Rise of the Argonauts; Sacred 2 Fallen Angels; Saints Row 2 and the Third; The Sims 3; Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords, Battlefront II, The Force Unleashed, The Force Unleashed II; Too Human; and last but not least Transformers the Game.Game recommendation for 360?
Here's a list of games I found to be great and exist for the 360 and I'll describe some positives and their level type:
Prototype. Sandbox action game with stealth elements.
Sonic Unleashed. Great variety with well-polished day and night levels.
Crash Mind Over Mutant. Free-roam platformer with good combat and co-op.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. Level-select format with great combat, an emphasis on co-op and puzzles.
Bayonetta. Great comedy game similar to Darksiders, but with a lighter story tone.
Upcoming games include Prototype 2, Darksiders II and Asura's Wrath.
Notes: Crash Mind Over Mutant and Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon have prequels available on XBLA (Xbox Live Arcade) which are called Crash of the Titans and The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning. They're pretty cheap from what I know and worth checking out as well. My apologies about your seizure. Hope you find some good games and get well soon.
I had about 10 games in mind to tell you to play but as I read through your list you already have every single one I was going to say. Where do you find the time to play that much. I bought Skyrim 4 weeks ago and have only been able to play it for like 4 hours a week let alone any other games...Game recommendation for 360?
I would get Transformers 2 and 3. They are quite good.
Congratulations for FinalFantasy 13-2 though. At least I'm not the only one that owns the game.
Sorry for the seizures as well. Hope this helps.
I'm sorry to hear about the seizures you get. It's horrible to have to deal with diseases like that. You've got most of the games I like lol. But looking at that list, it seems like you're missing the Rockstar games. Is there a reason for that? If not, I recommend you check out Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire.Game recommendation for 360?

Flying Spaghetti Monster, he's a dirty little bastard. I can't physically imagine the logistics of the fight though. I suppose he could whip his noodles around until the unicorn got tangled up and then it would go down like that scene from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea where the squid got a hold of the submarine.
Okay, here's my idea for a fight
Mormon Jesus Vs. Snuffleuppagus
Death match,
I summon the FSM.Who would win in a fight? The Flying Spaghetti Monster(FSM) or an invisible pink unicorn?
I think they would rather enjoy each other's company, personally.
The invisible pink unicorn is very much a pacifist. I can't claim much knowledge of the FSM.
IPU would have the tactical advantage - she's I, and being a U she has the horn with which to impale...Who would win in a fight? The Flying Spaghetti Monster(FSM) or an invisible pink unicorn?
Never happen. They're the best of friends, both being members of the exclusive One True God club.
How do you know if the unicorn is pink if its invisible?
They would be equally matched and a fight may well end the world unless they could reach a stalemate.
They beat the crap out of each other and, exhausted, sit down for some tea from Russell's Teapot.
u weirdo
Sorry, but Russel's celestial tea pot win.

the invisible unicorn would eat the FSM but he would have the last laugh when he comes exploding out of its stomach with pasta power

Anyone know any good non-linear exploration-based FPS games in the same vein of System Shock 2?
I love System Shock 2 with a passion. FPS games with exploration elements and/or RPG elements are phenomenal. The kinda game I'm looking for needs to not be so linear (Halo and Half-Life are linear in this way), have a nice focus on being able to backtrack at any time, and explore. RPG elements are appreciated, but are indeed optional.
I've already played Metroid Prime, Borderlands, the newer Fallout games, Deus Ex, and Bioshock 1/2. I'm looking for something new now, my bros. I guess those games can be considered examples of what else could be similar, too.
Your answers are much appreciated!Anyone know any good non-linear exploration-based FPS games in the same vein of System Shock 2?
Try S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC if you havent already.

Running OLD games in Windows 7?
I have few old classics like DEUS EX and HALF LIFE 1 which run fine in XP, will they run in WIN 7?Running OLD games in Windows 7?
If they are dos based I dont believe so, just create a VM using Virtualbox which is free and install win xp thats the best way but you can use emulators of dos if necessary.
windows 7 have function to backward compatible to window XP, only have to disable a couple of stuffs.
you can google itRunning OLD games in Windows 7?
Go to your Control Panel, then go to Programs abd Features. Right under that there is " Run Programs made for previous versions of Windows"
This is the XP Mode.
Good Luck and Enjoy
The Old Computer Guy
Option 1) Right click -%26gt; Compatibility -%26gt; Run in compatibility with: Windows XP.
If that doesn't work:
Option 2) Download a virtual machine and install an operating system on it. I recommend Sun VirtualBox with Windows 98/2000.
For DOS based ones:
Option 3) Download DOSBox.Running OLD games in Windows 7?
There are 2 ways of getting old games working.
1: Right click on file -%26gt;Properties -%26gt; Compatibility -%26gt; Run in compatibility with: Windows XP.

It's a very hard game to find because it's relativly old and didn't get many ads but "Tactis Ogre: The Knight of Lodis" is my favorate game ever. It's for the GBA and i have come across 4 copys (i bought them all so most of my friends have it) It's a standard Tactic turn based stratagy game but the storyline is amazing. The game revolves around your choices (unlike fable or other similar games where the only choices are good or evil). You start out by talking to a fortune teller who askes you 6 (relativly philospophical) questions that determine how you start the game. As far as i know there are four game endings, i have only seen two of them and they are marvels of video game writing. It's a fun game but it gets hard, i have a total of 100 hours on my main account ( great game while traveling) and there is still so much i can do. It might be hard to find but it is by far the best game ever made.Any excellent and original imaginative games out there anymore, Id like to know more?
The first kingdom of hearts is good. you should also try Wolfenstein, Crash bandicoot, metal gear solid stuff of that natureAny excellent and original imaginative games out there anymore, Id like to know more?
okami is one of the best games i have ever seen, it has a great plot, beautiful art and graphics, and the gameplay is to die for. you play as a white wolf god named AmateraTsu or ammy, with the power of the celestial brush. with this brush, you are able to alter reality using a few different brushstrokes. this amazing game is based off of Japanese mythology which makes you feel like you have been transported back in time. the game originally came out on ps2 where it was often called the best game on PS2 ever and now it has recently been released on wii.mgm grand bray and scarff

Can you enjoy old games as much as new?
Deus Ex, Silent Hill 2, System Shock 2, Thief 2; the Half-Life series, Fallout 1 and 2.
All pretty old games now, can you enjoy them as much as new games?Can you enjoy old games as much as new?
Hell yair! i love old games, but yes they don't have that good graphics but i love playing them. I even play Parkman (barley tho). But i still do play all the new games as-well. And im only 16 and i love the old games.
Of course you can, any old game can be fun, it just depends on your taste! Some people think that older games have more of a classic feel, and a lot of older gamers like this. New games have all the fancy graphics and game-play styles. It really just is personal preference!
Have fun with whatever games you play!Can you enjoy old games as much as new?
Yes
sure if you like games and get into themCan you enjoy old games as much as new?
I don't play THOSE games, but yes. I delete all of my data and start all over again when I feel like it.
not really
Yes I do! although i do know there are some people (like my friend) who hate to play older games cause the graphics aren't as good... which is a shame... fallout 1 and 2 are classics
Yea, Allthough i still prefer playing on my Nintendo 64!! rather then deus ex:(
I love old school FPS compared to new aged ones, so I do enjoy old games compared to older ones. The classics where the best!
Hell yeah!! i'd also like to mention classics such as unreal tournament, road rash, Claw (we remember that :D), AOE etc etc
Of course. I still enjoy the classics an I probably wasn't even born when they were released. It all depends on you though. Some people won't play a game, or even give it a chance if it's to old or has dated graphics...
Yes.

Getting a new Dell and want to know what simple (but still good) games I should get for it?
Games I'm thinking of so far are Doom, Operation Flashpoint, Halo: Combat Evolved, System Shock 2, Deus Ex, Warcraft 3, Sim City 4, Titan Quest, Diablo 2, and Thief 1 and 2.Getting a new Dell and want to know what simple (but still good) games I should get for it?

Should I go with the i3 2100 with an HD 6870, or the i5 2400 with an HD 6850?
Keep in mind, I'll be gaming on a 26 inch 1366 x 768 720p monitor (Games like BF3, Deus Ex HR, Crysis 1 and 2, Starcraft 2, etc)Should I go with the i3 2100 with an HD 6870, or the i5 2400 with an HD 6850?
You'll probably have the best overall experience with the i5 and 6850. While you'll see a small performance decrease on some of the more graphically intensive games, the two additional cores will give your computer better all around performance.Should I go with the i3 2100 with an HD 6870, or the i5 2400 with an HD 6850?
I vote for the i3-2120 and the 6870. Why? Well, I have a 6850 and a quad core CPU.
My experience? Well, I have a Phenom II X4 which is actually a good bit slower than the 2400 or even the 2100. In 90% of games, it's just sitting there, twiddling it's thumbs. When it's actually stressed, only 1 or 2 cores are stressed, while the other 2 are just sitting there unable to help out. Most apps and games just aren't multithreaded, and can't make use of all four cores. This is where the i3 succeeds: 2 fast cores are better than 4 slightly slower ones.
My 6850, on the other hand, usually does fine at 720p. But it gets maxed out pretty easily. Looking back, I wish I had gone for a 6870: it's a big performance boost.
Also, WHY are you playing on a 720p screen with an i3 and a 6850? If you can, go for 1080p.
So my rec? Go for the 6870 and the 2100. Trust me, the i3 will plow through any game. The 6850, however, can get bogged down at ultra settings, but the 6870 will not.Should I go with the i3 2100 with an HD 6870, or the i5 2400 with an HD 6850?
The i5 with HD6850. It will be able to handle those graphic intensive games a lot better than the i3 would. Plus you'll have a much better gaming experience. :D

Enter the game you wish to play, let it scan hardware, receive bacon (results).
EDIT: Whoops sorry, just read that you want to get the laptop.
Um, i think the 335m is okay, but, let me look around, see the 3xx series is a bit old now, nvidia is on the 5xx series atm, so i'm thinking finding something with a 460 or 550 would be better.
Yeah i'm looking at laptops, lots of them have 520m, 530m, 540m, 555m 560m
And if you go AMD/ATI video, get something 6770 or higher.
with a core i5 or 17
and 6-8 gigs ram.
like this one.

Yes
Whats the difference between intergrated and not intergrated and which one is better for gaming?
whats the difference between intergrated and not intergrated and which one is better for gaming as ive several laptops with nvidia geforce 330m 1 gb vram intergrated and not interrated what one is preferred for games such as tf2 and deus ex on high to medium specs?Whats the difference between intergrated and not intergrated and which one is better for gaming?
Short answer: Yes integrated graphics is alright.
Most integrated graphics are more than adequate for most users. They even allow you to do light gaming (Retro games comes to mind here). They have come a long way since the earlier integrated graphics.
There are many benefits (in my opinion) to using an integrated graphics solution.
1. The obvious would be you save money.
2. Consumes less power (this is just comparing what is already on the motherboard/processor vs an additional graphics card)
3. Less worries about power to the graphics card. Depending on the card, you may need additional power, and with that you need to ensure that your PSU can power it (i.e. have the right connectors and have adequate power output). But since you're buying everything from HP (I presume), this point is moot.
Why I would want an add-on graphics card?
1. More outputs (for a multi-monitor setup). Most integrated graphics only have a single monitor output (with an exception of a few which have 2).
2. Different connectivity (i.e. HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI,...etc..)...From what I can gather from the specs of the HP P7XT, the integrated graphics has DVI and VGA. You can still get HDMI via a DVI converter, however, I think you will not get Audio. (correct me if I'm wrong)
3. Better performance..(in games a definite....but in other productivity software or web browsing, this point too may be moot)
Give the integrated graphics a go first. If at any point you feel you need an add-on graphics card, you can always add one in later (and chances are by then, for the same amount of money you pay for one now, you can get something better)
Hope this helps!
not integrated video cards are those which you can manually keep graphic card to pci slot...
MOSTLY graphic cards are better for on0board video card..fro gaming because they are especially designed for gaming...Whats the difference between intergrated and not intergrated and which one is better for gaming?
Integrated graphics are not actually graphics cards, they are low end graphics sharing the RAM memory and CPU to display image.
Dedicated graphics are graphic cards in PC computers and dedicated GPU memory (processor) inside a laptop. They are the best for high quality display and gaming.
