I got an issue of PC gamer and have been looking at all the advertisements, man this is really confusing.
Basically i want a good rig for computer gaming. I want it to be able to play all the new stuff. I dont need it to be super hardcore, my budget is 500-800.
I have no idea what anything is except that some cost alot and some cost reasonable. Here are my main two questions.
1) Theres a "gamer ultra 700" for $525, its got nvidia 9500gt 1gb. Is it better to have a 1gb card or a 512mb? And is Nvidia better or ATI radeon? http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Ultra_7000_Elite/
2) Its got a AMD x2 dual core processor. Is DUAL CORE OKAY or do i need to get TRIPLE CORE?? Theres also a Quad core, how many cores are there LOL. what is the advantage of having 3 or 4 cores over 2? im not that hardcore at this i just wanna play some good games
Ive been comparing them in the mag and this rig for 525 seems like the best deal, its got the most GB in the graphics card, and it comes loaded with windows vista premium. i can also upgrade to the triple core for 599. Its from a website called CYBERPOWERPC anyone got experiance with them?
Im just about ready to pull out the credit card but i wanna run it past the experts first.
