help please, buying new computer and need to know.....

[LucasLuke]

hey! im buying a custom made computer from my local PC shop and would like to know how this would perform on these games,

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
The Sims 3
Habbo

And would it be good for browsing the internet? Im not really tech savvy so help appreciated thx.

Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 945 Processor @3000MHz
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 ~1024MB
Memory ( RAM ): Memory: 4096MB RAM
Operating System: Windows 7

How would that perform?

Awesomely.

With a set up like that, I hope you're playing more than games like that... Habbo runs fine on almost any system.

[Firehorse]

should be fine, you'll be able to play the majority of pre-2007 games maxed out and many games since 2007 on high quality with decent framerates with those specs.

Sims 3 might stuggle on full settings.

Sims 3 might stuggle on full settings.

Doubt it. I'm running an Athlon II X2 250, 2Gb RAM and an HD 4670, all on Windows 7.

Sims 3 running fine on all high settings, including full edge smoothing. (sim detail is on high instead of very high though)

That system you have chosen will defo run Sims 3 well, but consider a change of graphics card. What graphics cards are available from this shop?

[LucasLuke]

The guy at the shop orders the parts for you. What graphics card do you reccomend?

[N!ck]

ATi 5770. Not the highest performing card out there but good bang for buck and much much better than that GT 220.
