I want to play TF2 on high settings; would I lag at all with this?

Build it yourself with those specs. Also you'll be great on TF2 with that and your FPS should be constantly above 120 Smile

For $500 you should just build your own. I'm not entirely sold on APUs yet. I mean for a HTPC or somethign they're nice, but I haven't read anything on their performance in games.

Thanks, I wanted to build but my family (paying for half of this) said no. Every update since the Manniversary release seems to make TF2 just a bit slower on my current computer. I'm playing on a 3 - 20 FPS average.

Also, if you're gonna buy it, get it from Newegg. $100 cheaper.

Thanks, I'm just hoping it's still available around May. By the way, why so cheap? Most computers promised to be this good are around $600-700.

No, see my budget build thread, much better and $650 I think.

Wait I'm a dumbass I swear I read i7 somewhere and I thought it was 3.7 or something fuck
No it won't run it on high perfectly. If you upgrade your CPU to an i5-2500k it will.

Newegg is a much larger outfit than Futureshop. That and it just looks like Futureshop just wants more money out of it. I'd still suggest looking around for something different. I mean this is refurbished, but still better.

And around May look again because prices will change in that time with Intel's new CPU dropping and Nvidia's new GPU line dropping.

So I could just switch parts? No extra cooling?
@Cryoma: Not building.
@Apo: Read the review, apparently that can run Crysis 2 on low settings. I'll be sure to look around in May, the one in my post isn't an option now.

Some low-tier FM1 board I'm sure.

Are... are you fucking retarded? His limit is probably around the price of the computer he posted, not $800. Jesus fuck you're an idiot.

You're paying a fuck ton more for dual screens, get out of my thread. And yeah, Apoth, I'm at a limit of around $600.
