Gonna give it a go with this system during the beta and then decide whether I want to upgrade it a bit:

i5-750 @ 3.6GHz
GTX 460
4GB DDR3 RAM

Though it will most likely be a CPU-intensive game so I'll have to make the big decision of if it's worth it to upgrade to a GTX 670 or just do an overhaul

The i5 750 won't have any issues with the game. Worse case your 460 may not fully max it out. If you really want a upgrade 670 would do the job.

What about mine? I plan to run it on lowest possible settings, by the way, with everything turned all the way down or off.

AMD Turion II P520 (2 CPU's) ~2.3 GHz
4 GB RAM
AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250, Approximate Total Memory 1913 MB (not sure if that's necessary to say)
Display: 1366 x 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I doubt it. The CPU is a low-power part

...have you played anything modern on it?

GLaDOS · 2012-07-20, 05:25 PM

Um... Not really. I can play Crysis Warhead well enough on the lowest settings, but that game is getting pretty old. It's worth it to point out, though, that I'm not going for a really high framerate or anything. I was an only console gamer until about a year ago, and I hear those have low framerates compared to high quality computers.

EDIT: I'd also be fine with lower-than-console framerates, which I'm used to in PC games. I just don't want anything unbearable.

Goku · 2012-07-20, 07:14 PM

I'm 100% sure that is not going to even be playable at all. I'm talking even on low setting plus low resolution. Time to start saving up for a new laptop I think.

GLaDOS · 2012-07-20, 07:17 PM

Okay, thanks for the info. It is starting to fall apart anyway. It did serve me pretty well (cost $350 pretty much exactly 2 years ago, straight off the shelf from Best Buy). I'm thinking of building my next one, if that's even feasible for a laptop.

Goku · 2012-07-20, 08:32 PM

If you are on a tight budget ($750 or less) I would recommend looking into building a system yourself verse a laptop. You will get way more performance verse what a laptop will yield at the same price.

Intel i7 870 Quad Core Processor 2.93 GHZ
NVIDIA GeForce 310
6 GB RAM
1920x1080 Display
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

My rig can run SC2 smoothly at medium settings (pretty sure it works on high also, haven't checked in a while), my only concern is the graphics card atm. What do you guys think?

That is pretty much the budget I'm on, and I've thought of it, but I really do need a laptop for the portability. Does anyone by any chance know a decent laptop around that price that I should look into?

Nope.

You need a new graphics card, the 310 is horrible. But the rest is alright.

Why not continue to use the old laptop for the portability? Or do you not have a constant living space?

i5 2500K Quad Core 3.3GHz 6MB (Overclocked to either 3800 or 4200 (I think

))
8GB DDR3/1333mhz Kingston Hyper X Blu Series
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2GB 16X
Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 Intel Z68 Chipset ATX Mainboard
CoolerMaster 850watt Silent ProModular Gaming Power Supply
Windows 7 Home 64bit
1920x1080 Display

Now its fair to say I know absolutely nothing about computers, I think I had this built for me back in January/Febuary.

Hoping it will run PS2 somewhat OK but I'm not too sure.

What do you think?

If you want further advice please make your own thread and we'll figure out something for you.

You will be fine with that. Higby has stated test rigs have run with this setup and manage to run the game on higher settings I think.
