yeah im fine in l4d2, but i skipped around in bfbc2. cod4 is just a fail. on my best comp atm i have an i7 processor, 6gbs of RAM, and then a shitty ass $30 graphics card. no idea why the prebuild that my parents got didnt have a better card, its an embarrassment to the rig.

BFBC2 needs a pretty decent GPU, usually a 5770+ will do the job, the CPU isn't amazingly intensive to that game.

It because it's prebuilt silly they're sold for general home use.

EDIT i suppose ill use this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102023

i can do the same settings change but almost $50 less.

Coming from someone who has the 'XtremeGamer' version of this card in his PC right now, I'd highly recommend it. HIGHLY.

except im not even supposed to be on that computer at all, i use it when they are at work. thats why im hoping for them to agree to buy me an actual nice computer and so all my problems in the world are solved.

So did the OP finally settle on a computer yet?

looks like the best choice is the barebones set, eventually get the $50 sound card, and upgrade my 54mb/s wireless adapter to a usb 300mb/s adapter.
