These are the specs for a computer im lookin at for $812.96. Is this a good deal or is this to much?

G4805 Computer System

• CD OR DVD DRIVE 1: 16x DVD-ROM (Lite-On): DVD-LO-16-BLK
• CPU HEATSINK/FAN: Arctic Cooling Ultra Quiet Heatsink and Fan: FAN-AC-S64UTC

I would like to be able to play LOMAC, BattleField 2, and many of the newer games with ease. If this system is not good enough tell me what needs to be better. I am on a $1,100 tops budget, as I'm only 15.

Thank's

Good specs, but what socket is the cpu do you know? I would go for a bit better CPU and or a 6800GT if you can but that comp should run BF2 on Med/high settings

Build your own computer and you'll get performence much better than that for the same price.

For a 1,100 budget, you can build a computer that can run bf2 on high settings at pretty high resolutions. If you decide to build your own, tell us and we're get you started.

As for the coputer you chose, its an ok deal. If you built that computer, it would cost less.

If, and ONLY if it is a socket 939 motherboard would I think of buying a boxed A64 system. For that matter, even build or any other processor type (I don't do Intel).

I would check that the CPU socket is 939 or 754. The memory system is much better on the 939, and it is WAY more upgradeable.
