I just sold my old system for $350 with almost the same specs. GeForce 460, C2D E7500. It's not an OMGFANTASTIC deal, but not a bad one, if you want a good budget system on a sub 500 budget with OS

So should i take it or do you think i'd be able to get a better one?

Recommended for: Budget gaming build that can handle most newer games. Offers great value for money.

From Marest's thread.

Would take this over that any day.

Wow thanks deltrus, would that handle 25man raids lowest quality just with the required settings (Particle density) ? without much lag?

Wow thanks deltrus, would that handle 25man raids lowest quality just with the required settings (Particle density) ? without much lag?

Lowest settings I daresay it would handle quite well. Sandy Bridge architecture is pretty awesome, so if you're on that tight of a budget, a build like that would probably be the best.

Do you need an operating system/any peripherals (Monitor, mouse, keyboard, headset?)

Estimated Total Price – $388
From Marest's thread.

I wouldn't. Performance would be about the same, but thats $388 WITHOUT the OS. So the total cost would be more like $470. And the 465 is better at WoW than the 7770. Smaller HD (not that that matters) and half the ram (Which also doesnt matter, but point still stands)

[Epicmagelol]

I do need an OS and my budget is around $500 so we can upgrade some parts on that list i believe. I do NOT need any peripherals though , got them all. Thank you btw. <3

[chazus]

Oh, that's different then. If your budget is 500 and you don't need an OS... A custom built system would def be better.

and that'll run a 25man raid on what settings with no lag? medium or still low?

[chazus]

I'd say that you ought to be able to run at least Good settings. Its sort of a tight budget to really push it. What are you using now?

He said he *does* need an OS.

What is your current setup?

[Epicmagelol]

Sorry for the late response, hope you'll still get back to me . I'm not home but I do know I have a nvidia GeForce gt220 and a AMDll processor . I don't even think I have more then 2 gig RAM. I mean all in all a really really bad cpu. Anything would be an upgrade.always shuts down when I play wow for. 5 minutes. I only need a CPU build for wow .
