Well bought this PC from Newegg, great deal and PC. Overall how would you rate it, this Friday when it comes I will see how good it runs Bad Company 2 and some other games.
Processor - 64 bit Six-Core Processor...AMD Phenom II X6 1035T 2.6GHz
Memory - 8GB DDR3 1333
Graphics - ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6...64 bit Six-Core Processor
HDD- 1TB
Monitor - 24" 1920x1080
Edit... Windows 7 64 bit...doh
Those were some of the specs. Just speak the thoughts of how great it'll run compared to something similar you played with or w/e.

My computer will run better than this, and probably cost less. Just some food for thought. Can you tell us what you paid so we can truly rate it in terms of price/performance?

That's actually a steal. For what you paid, it will perform well. The GPU and CPU are both a little dated and a little weak - don't expect 60+ FPS on ultra settings, but it will perform pretty well. Originally Posted by Alistairr

The CPU is clocked kinda low, especially for gaming. It would be great for rendering/folding though. Also you have a slightly dated video card there, not necessarily for gaming.

That's a GPU, not a CPU. That GPU is leagues above what you got. Originally Posted by Alistairr

That psu and gpu upgrade would make it a great gaming pc.. for a good price too.
I'd get this one though: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102948
or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125357 if you really want dual fans
Don't really like xfx :P
The cpu you have is fine.. it might slow you down some in cpu-intensive games but it won't be that bad... it's not the doomsday scenario some people on this forum make it out to be ^^If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.

This ^^
The CPU requirements is overrated on this forums. Just because they got a SANDYBRIDGE, they think that every other CPU out there is BAD BAD BAD. Dont get me wrong, Sandbridge is THE BEST. But the 6 core phenom 2 is also good, you will be able to play every singleplayer game out there on very high graphics with that CPU. Maybe the exeption being RTS games with a huge unit count.Your greed, your foolishness has brought you to this end.

Not a big fan of AMD, but a quite decent CPU for the low budget. Originally Posted by Alistairr

Fine RAM. I TB harddrive will do you well, unless you use it for storage for films and such.

wait what, you just bought a rig and are already upgrading pieces? you could have just spent that extra on the main build and built something better overall. your current rig will play most games just fine, so actually wait and play games first; even better if it has a cooler on it and you overclock it!
