Computer compatible?

[zandmormel]

hi, i am currently looking for a computer able to run games like this (CO2) and Counter Strike condition zero smoothly.

I have a very small budget of £300-£370.. i no its cheap but i also no its possible?

iv done some research myself and found this .
.
v
PC WORLD £10.85
XFX
9600 GT OC
512MB PCI-E Graphics Card
Standard Delivery £4.84




PCWORLD £322.96
Packard Bell iMedia B2316
with 19" TFT



i am not sure if the added graphics card is compatible or even necercery howether i added it any way for speculation .

please comment on whether the specified computer will run games and if not posiable computers for my budget.

thx in advance

Just for an Info: For CO2 and CS:CZ, a single core with ~2ghz and an 128 mb graphic card, 512mb-1gb RAM, should be enough, if you dont want to play on Highest details with no lags etc, but even if you want to open 2 CO, and then CS:CZ the systems you named should be enough (though i havent looked carefully, just guessing)... I had an 900 mhz, 64 mb graphic card,512 mb SDram comp and I could easily play CS:CZ

Edit: I would also prefer you to write in , those ppl sure know alot about good/cheap comps

Conquer is a terrible graphics game, if you can run runescape you can run c02 lol.

okok thx for the great advise atm i am using a fujitsu siemens amilo l7300 and it realy is useless, i cannot run cs:cz without lagging even with the worst settings...

i will take your advise and re post in the technical support section...


Oh and last question will the above computer smoothly run Gunz Online as i got to a high rank k styling on that game even with 400-500 ping lol, and would like to experiance the gameplay with a lower ping... will the ping be reduce with the comp..

The Ping mostly depens on your internet connection.. if GunZ would run smoothly with the best settings and you can still have an 400-500 ping.. maybe the servers are way to far away from you.. or you got virus,malware etc.. downloading..

It all depends on your connection, ping has absolutely no effect clientside.

= FPS lag you don't want.

I have a quad core, 3gb ram computer and i get 800 ping in some servers.

yes im aware of the distance lagg but believed that by upgrading my computer it would have more up to date technology therefore reducing ping slightly.
