You can get max settings on all games at 1680x1050 res for about 5-600, including monitor. Aemon Send a noteboard - 28/11/2009 01:38:46 AM
I know because I just built a computer to do that, about a month ago. Athlon triple core black, 4 gigs of ram, radeon 4850 1gb, 22in Acer LCD monitor, etc. You can get at least 40 fps, and usually 60+, on all modern games at max settings with that. Again, we're talking 1680x1050 here.

Anyway, my computer ran me just about 600 even, but things have gone down slightly since I built mine, and if you manage to snag some of the black friday deals going on right now, you could probably go well under my price. If it were me, I would (obviously, since I did ;) ) upgrade. A dual core athlon and 1gb of ram is not a good pc by any stretch of the imagination these days. You can't even properly run a modern operating system with that.

Upgrade away! :D

It's somewhat adequate A Deathwatch Guard - 27/11/2009 09:52:30 PM 568 Views

Wait for the requirements for Diablo 3.... MightyYT - 27/11/2009 10:38:43 PM 548 Views
Yeah, that's what I'd do too. If there's a game to have a gaming PC for it's Diablo 3! *NM* Brian - 27/11/2009 11:31:05 PM 244 Views
Knowing Blizzard, the minimum requirements won't be that steep. *NM* Nate - 28/11/2009 02:58:53 AM 218 Views

Hm.... That's really tempting A Deathwatch Guard - 28/11/2009 04:00:14 AM 540 Views
For $200 you could upgrade to 4GB ram and a 4850, just to throw that option out there *NM* Floffe - 28/11/2009 03:34:03 PM 321 Views
To answer your question.... jh - 28/11/2009 07:35:40 PM 582 Views
lol. Good answer A Deathwatch Guard - 28/11/2009 11:06:29 PM 510 Views
The answer is always yes, but I agree that you could probably do a modular upgrade for now. *NM* Zalis - 29/11/2009 03:48:34 AM 241 Views
