Isaac

What do you think of my strictly gaming pc build? Here are the specs.

HAF 912
ECS H61H2-M2
i3-2120
Seasonic S12II 620 620w
EVGA GTX 570
G.Skill 8gb 1333 Value Series
CD/DVD Burner
Windows 7

How well will it perform? Will it max out modern games? Keep in mind this system is strictly for gaming. Thanks!

Answer
You're in good shape, but for running games on max detail I'd recommend upgrading to a Core i5 2400 or 2500. There's almost no difference between the Core i5 2500 and Core i7 2600 in games, so paying more for the i7 isn't worth it for gaming. And for playing on HIGH settings, the Core i3 2120 is fine. But when you push to ultra settings in really intense titles, the CPU starts to play a bigger role. Basically in the scenarios where you'd take full advantage of a GTX 570, you'll want a bit more CPU horsepower behind it.

If your budget is tight, go with 4gb of RAM and a Core i5 2300 or 2320. At ultra settings it would pay off. Maybe consider the 448 core GTX 560 Ti classified edition instead of the GTX 570. That would save enough to upgrade your CPU. The 448 core model is really a lower-end GTX 570, based upon the same GPU.

What AMD processor do you recommend for a budget gaming PC?

Anonymous

I'm building my own budget gaming PC and I need help choosing a processor. I want AMD because they're cheaper and better value than intel. Which would you recommend? Id like to play Minecraft with all settings on high with no lag, and maybe a game like Alpha Protocol on medium settings. If you have any other helpful info please share. Thanks

Answer
For those on a budget you absolutely cannot beat AMD for price/performance. Especially Micro Center, where you get a FREE motherboard with the purchase of a processor:

http://www.microcenter.com/specials/promotions/AMDbundlePROMO.html

Got a Phenom II 840 last year for 90$, and a free motherboard!

For really good deals, try Slickdeals. The highly rated deals are always the best. Recently there was an HD 6670 on sale for 40$ after rebate, and a free game:

http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/74428/newegg-gigabyte-radeon-hd-6670-1gb-ddr3-pci-express-video-card-gvr667d31gi-dirt-3-game-coupon

Got one myself. It's supposed to be able to handle Battlefield 3 on medium-high settings, and should have no problems with any of the two games listed. It's probably one of the best cards out there for gamers on a budget.

How can I build a computer that can run any game as good as a console?

best gaming pc prebuilt image

WOO

I'm wanting to build my first gaming PC. I have a cap of 1200$ but I would really prefer to go much lower than that. (Considering I'm having to scrape up every dime of it by Scrap Metal and Selling things on Craigs list) I'm pretty lost.

I am wanting to plug this computer into my 32" TV for gaming and movies.

The games I want to play are

N64 Emulator

SNES Emulator

NES Emulator

Sega Emulator

MineCraft

Assassin's Creed

Skyrim

Battlefield 3

COD Black ops 2 (All COD games)

Portal 1 and 2

Left for Dead 1 and 2

Indie Games (Like Slender, Luna Games, Ao oni, etc)

I want it to play HD Movies/Video preferably my Blu Rays.

--------------------------------------â¦

I'm wanting to go with a i7 Intel processor and 16 Gig of ram and the case is Coolermaster Haf 922m. The rest I am lost on. I don't know WHICH i7 processor I need. I don't know WHAT Motherboard is best, I haven't got the first idea on what to look for in a Video card or how much to go on one or if I need a Sound Card. I don't know how much I really need to spend to get what I want.

So could somebody help a little? and I'm BUILDING this. I want to learn, so I am not going to buy a prebuilt.
Starrysky: The Emulators are not the problem. My 5 year old Compaq with 2 gigs of ram and the lowest end AMD processor made runs N64 (The most demanding) emulator perfectly fine. PERFECTLY fine.

The Emulator's are not my issue.

Answer
If you just want to play games, you don't need an i7. An i5 will do just as well. The best one is the Intel Core i5-3570K. An i7 has hyperthreading, the i5 does not. Games do not use hyperthreading. This one is best: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504

This motherboard is best: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

The video card should be an AMD 7850 or 7870. You can see them all on Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600286767&IsNodeId=1&ShowDeactivatedMark=False You can get a 7850 for $200.

I don't think you will need a sound card.

You really could use a power supply, though! :D Let me write a word or two on power supplies. When they say a video card will run on 500 watts, they mean it will barely run with 500 watts. I would get at least a 750 to power it. I am using an 850 myself, to power one 6870 and standard computer configuration (sometimes I have alodda hard drives, if I'm backing up). So... 3 hard drives sometimes, One Intel i5 CPU, one 6870 graphics card, and, um, whatever else is in there... :D

I strongly recommend a 750 or 850 watt power supply, because if you buy one, you want to be able to move it to your next system. Also, you want extra power for whatever you might add to your present system.

The big names are great, but expensive. Why not consider Rosewill? Make sure it is single 12 volt rail, 80+, and modular, so you don't have all the unused wires hanging around, cluttering up everything (found that out the hard way! :O). Thermaltake is another quality inexpensive one. Snoop around Newegg, and see what you like best.

Pick yourself a nice 750 or 850 out of that. It doesn't have to be expensive - many of them are, but some of them are not. Here's the one I use - $110 for 850 watts! 69 Amps on the 12 volt rail - will handle your current system and you future system! :D http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-153-106&SortField=1&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29&Page=1#scrollFullInfo

(Stay away from Corsair power supplies. They are really expensive, and have this MOST annoying habit of the fan staying totally off until they get hot, then coming on with a vengeance, then shutting totally off, then coming on high, then going off -- MOST irritating, and nothing you can do about it. I saw a video from a guy that experienced this. He even called the factory to see if something could be done - they said no, that's how they're made. :( What you want is a power supply that has the fan on SLOW all the time - and that's how they all do it, except for Corsair.)

You should always have more power than you need. :)

That should pretty much take care of your questions. :D

~Helpful ~Cindy! :)

Where should I buy my Gaming PC and what specs should it have?

Ben

During the summer of 2013 I am thinking about spending £1000 on a gaming PC, so I need to know what company makes good 'solid' PC's that do not break instantly and are 'trusted'.

Thanks

Answer
A grand will get you top spec. but you will want to self build, you'll get all the parts you want and quite possibly cheaper than a prebuilt system.

I recently did a build for someone (details are on my email account) which was on a £700 budget,

i5-3570k
asrock z77 extreme4
8gb ram
1tb hdd
WiFi card
OCZ 600w PSU.
7850 Radeon HD graphics.
120gb sandisk extreme SSD.

this came in at 700, so for 1k, you can up the graphics card to top spec and still be in budget...

prices change and tech is renewed quite often so in 6months there will be an even better spec available.

What do I need to consider when buying a Video Card?

best gaming pc video card image

Chris

I am thinking upgrading my video card. To be honest though I know very little about the specifics of a card other than the total memory on it. If I used to for a mid to high end gaming PC what should I look for and why.

Thanks.

Answer
check out http://tomshardware.com/charts

their graphics charts are very extensive and include many of the latest games so you can get a good feel for for the card you are looking for, go to newegg.com in another tab and browse through it looking at video cards in your price range and keep going back to tomshardware to check and compare their performance. can talk all you want about this chip or that amount or speed of memory, but it comes down to real performance and benchmark results are it. as a gamer, pay close attention to the gaming benchmarks.

What is a good video card for my computer?

Bryn Smith

I would want to know on a good video card to play games on my computer.
I am a casual gamer, just like one or two MMORPGs. I don't know if that is casual though. I would want to get a card for my normal (not gaming) PC. I would like to play Guild Wars 2 on a 23" 1920x1080 PC. Could you tell me a good one? There are so many kinds and models out there.

Preferences
I don't intend to play on super ultra... just no lag on 1920x1080. I never plan to play on ultra.
I don't want to pay that much. If it is more than $200, it isn't worth it.

Answer
Belive it or not I researched this extensively 2 nite andf ordered my card.

Some computer experts say that the graphical quality of video games has reached a plateau?

best gaming pc hardware 2013 image

Q. e.g., look how good the graphics are for a game like Crysis 2. These are rendered on hardware that was nearly outdated in 2005. You could imagine the potential of similar hardware in 2011. Or would it even make a difference?

What will make the next generation of gaming distinctive from the current?

In the past, the answer to this question was easy: GRAPHICS.

Answer
PC graphics can continue to march forward with ever more impressive hardware optimizations, higher resolutions, better physics, etc. However consoles are going to have a much tougher time of it. Sure with this generation we saw the jump to HD, or at least 720p@30fps. However the next batch of consoles should have no problem with 1080p@60fps which is the maximum any HDTV is capable of producing. Even 3D won't be a problem for these consoles - if they decide to support it.

Really the only direction left is better physics, and better textures. However these are going to seem more like minor bumps vs. the huge leaps we've been used to. It might also mean consoles will come out less frequently - no need to upgrade as frequently.

The 360, for instance, will turn 7 later this year and while Microsoft is working on a new console we probably won't see it on shelves until 2013 at the earliest - nearly 9 years after the 360 came out.

What are the tips should I base when I buy Video Card?

Wyllie Yip

Since I have learned the BASIC things in choosing a right processor from my friend that when you buy a processor you should always base the number of cores, theads, cache and the frequency speed.

Question:
Now, what I want to learn is that I wanna know what are the tips in buying Video Card, what are the things should I base before buying Video Card? Because I heard from other people that when I buy a Video Card the Video Memory must be bigger to have a GREAT VIDEO CARD. Now, I have found out this Leaflets from the computer store there is different Video Cards here like GT and GTX and I saw that GTX are more expensive? Why is that? Also, with this let me state an example:
- GF 210 1GB 64BIT DDR3 - 1,200 pesos
- GF 210 1GB 128BIT DDR3- 1,670 pesos.....
... I saw that there is a difference between the two, the BIT, why does 128BIT is more expensive that 64BIT since their VIDEO Memory is just the same? What's the USE of that BIT? Is that one of the tip in buying Video Card?

Another example:
- GT 630 4GB 128BIT DDR3 - 2,775 pesos
- GTX 650 1GB, 128BIT DDR5 - 4,885 pesos...
In this example....I am so doubtful because why is it that GTX 650 1GB is more expensive that GT 630 since GT 630 has more VIDEO MEMORY because it's 4GB than GTX 650 only 1GB? And I see the difference that GTX650 is DDR5, is that the reason because of "DDR5" GTX650 is more expensive than GT 630?

Thank you so much!....your explanation would help...
so that in the near future, when I buy video card...
I already know what is the right Video Card to buy...

Answer
GT (and even GTS) is the low and regular card class, GTX is the extreme card class.

For gaming and HD video editing, a GTX card is a MUST.
For anything else, any GT or GTS card will do fine.

In all modern nVidia cards, the first digit is the series (generation). The latest is the 600 series for desktop cards, they already released a GT730M for laptops.
The next generation of 700 series will be released this year, people say in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2013....
The second digit is the class, and the 3rd digit is generally zero (0), except for some OEM models and OEM for laptops.
A GTX680 will be better than a GTX670 and so on...
Example of OEM cards: GT635M for some Dell and HP laptops, or GTX555 for Dell Alienware X51 small form factor gaming desktop PC.
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-555-oem

The 1GB, 2GB, etc is the amount of GDDR graphics memory on the card.
The generation does play an important role, like GDDR5 is much faster (better) than GDDR3 or DDR3.
The amount of GDDR memory (1GB, 2GB, etc) does not play an important role in the card performance, except when using multiple monitors.
For gaming on a single monitor, 1GB GDDR5 is more than enough, as almost all games will only use well under 1GB.
In your example, the 1GB GTX650 GDDR5 will be a much better card than the 4GB GT630 DDR3.

The 64bit or 128bit or 256bit, etc is the memory interface bandwidth of the card, and is very important in determining the card performance. The higher the bandwidth, the faster the access to the card memory would be.
Gaming cards have 128bit or higher. For best performance in gaming, a 192bit or higher bandwidth is required.

For gaming and video editing, get at least a GTX650 Ti (better than the non-Ti version), or best a GTX660 Ti.

How knowledgeable would you need to be to build a PC?

Da fuk u l

I would like to build my own gaming pc instead of paying 1000's of dollars to get an average one. However i have never done anything technical like that so should i just buy a gaming pc or risk building my own?

Answer
It is easy, the complicated part is ensuring everything will fit in the case while ordering it. Two important factors are the motherboard needs to be a form factor that matches the case and the CPU needs to match the motherboard's socket. Also the graphic card usually lists length. To fit it needs to be shorter than the back of your case to the hard drive cage.. not the full length of the case.

I was going to buy a gaming PC, but i was told it was cheaper to buy the parts and put it together myself. I'm not a pro but i have somewhat experience with computers. I just need to know what exactly i need to buy and where i can get them for cheap. My budget is around $500. Thanks for the help.

Answer
You should have specified if we should a PC case in that price or not.
Since I tried to configure the best PC you could buy with MORE / less 500$ I didn't include a case:
Intel platform:
Power Supply &Hard Disk Drive(the 7200.12 series from Seagate is the one that includes one of the fastest performing HDDs(I personally own a 500GB 7200.12 and is very fast)):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.524434
90$
Motherboard(96$)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131634R
You get:DDR3 1600 without overclock,SATA 6Gbps,USB 3.0.
Processor(209$):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115067
You get: quad-core,2.8GHz,8MB L2 cache,heatsink&fan
Memory(74$):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134812
2 of these and you get: 4GB of RAM,DDR3 1333MHz
Graphics card(75$ / 110$):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141118
You get:1GB of DDR3 VRAM, DirectX 11,HDMI out
or this one(paste in the newegg search box and hit enter): N82E16814127483
Total:544$
It's 44$ over the limit you specified but you can buy just 2GB of RAM and the total would be:506$
I made sure everything is compatible so you don't have to worry about that.
AMD Configuration:
N82E16813131651
You get:SATA 6Gbps,USB 3.0,DDR3 1600MHz without overclock,
Processor:
N82E16819103851
You get: 6 cores,2.8GHz,6MB L3,3MB L2
The rest of the configuration is the same since the hardware I chose for the Intel one should work with the AMD configuration without a problem.
The price with the AMD configuration would be:
539$
The final price doesn't include an optical drive!
This LG drive comes equipped with Lightscribe and 24x writing speed: N82E16827136147
Total price(including optical drive: 564$(Intel) / 559$(AMD)
I would go with AMD if I were you because of the 6 core processor.You would be better prepared for the future than with a quad core processor.
If you feel you don't need a hexa-core processor, here's an alternative:
N82E16819103871
It's a 3.0GHz quad-core CPU. 100$
Like this you save 100$ and still have a powerful computer.
Alternative(save 60$):N82E16819103808
It's a 3.2GHz quad-core CPU(Phenom II).140$
Total with Phenom II: 559$ - 59$ = 500$
The motherboard I chose supports the Phenom II processor(s) I paired it with.

So here is the link to all the parts that I am going to build my Gaming PC out of:

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=20016551

This is my first PC build so please don't be too harsh on judgements. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on if I should use any different parts in my build. I would like to not go over 1K in cash on the PC alone. Will this setup be able to run BF3 on ultra graphics settings and still be around 60 FPS? Any input is appreciated.

Answer
Nothing much to say other than its a good gaming pc. And yes i should be able to run BF3 at 60 fps maxed out. The graphics card is good and so is the cpu, it has a good amount of ram, good motherboard, a decent hard drive and a good power supply. So it should run battle field 3 fine. I wish i could give you a smart technical answer but all i can say is that its a good build.

A GOOD gaming PC should cost about 600$. This is enough to go on mostly high settings at a mainstream resolution. Basically a normal home computer but with a dedicated GFX card.

A GREAT gaming PC should cost about 1000$. This is what you'd get if you want to use a single monitor and play games on their highest settings at a high resolution. You'll either use 1 top-of-the-line card or 2 midrange cards working together, and you'll want a pretty good processor.

The BEST gaming PC should cost above 1500$. This is for people who use multi-monitor displays, 3D effects, or absurdly high resolutions. Prepare to purchase multiple graphics cards, at least 2 high-performance hard drives (for RAID 0), a sound card, and liquid cooling systems.

BUT REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY FOR THE PC TOWER COST: YOU STILL NEED TO BUY A MONITOR, MOUSE, KEYBOARD, AND OPERATING SYSTEM! I personally spent 350$ on those (200$ monitor, 100$ OS, 20$ keyboard and 30$ mouse) you may also want to buy headphones, so keep those in mind too.

If all you want the PC for is to play Portal 2 and maybe some MMORPGs, then go with Good. if you plan to get into Steam and build your library, go Great. If you have too much money on your hands and want to surround yourself with the best, go...Best.

How knowledgeable would you need to be to build a PC?

best gaming pc 1000 image

Da fuk u l

I would like to build my own gaming pc instead of paying 1000's of dollars to get an average one. However i have never done anything technical like that so should i just buy a gaming pc or risk building my own?

Answer
It is easy, the complicated part is ensuring everything will fit in the case while ordering it. Two important factors are the motherboard needs to be a form factor that matches the case and the CPU needs to match the motherboard's socket. Also the graphic card usually lists length. To fit it needs to be shorter than the back of your case to the hard drive cage.. not the full length of the case.

What is the cheapest and/or best website (UK) to build a custom gaming PC?

L.H.

I am living in the UK, and have seen quite a few different websites for this sole purpose more often than not, and was wondering if some websites are better than others. If you know a good website for PC packages as well I am looking for a gaming PC for hopefully no more than £1000, and I'm not sure I'm willing to choose to spend any more on one than that. Thanks

Answer
Any of those websites you have already seen can produce a custom made gaming PC for you at minimal cost. I am sure you will get a powerful system to run all your games and future generations of games for the £1000 you are ready to spend.

In fact you can build this system by your self selecting the components you prefer from the thousands on the market now-a-days.

I do all my building work myself never trusting all those companies who only want your hard earned money, giving you sub-standard products in return.

Most sites you have seen would know how to knock one together for you, it is the component selection that really makes the difference.

I hope I have been of some help here.

What are some good online zombie games for PS3?

Kyle

So me and my friends love playing zombies together. But we hate play COD zombies. Are there any games we can play online together. Maybe has a story to it. But something new not anything old.

Answer
All Zombies Must Die! (2011) - is a top-down shooter video game for up to four players. The game was released as a downloadable title for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles and personal computers running the Windows operating system. It is the spiritual successor to Burn Zombie Burn.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (2012) - First-person shooter that was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. It's a continuation of the zombies mode from Black Ops. New game modes and maps include Green Run, Tranzit, Grief (up to 8 players), Nuketown, Great Leap Forward, Die Rise, and Turned.

DayZ (2012) - This is a PC game. An ARMA 2 mod which features survival horror and shooter gameplay in an open world. The game is online multiplayer. Players must feed their character as well as deal with other players and the living dead.

Dead Island (2011) - is an action role-playing survival horror video game for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is centered on the challenge of surviving a zombie-infested open world island with a major emphasis on melee combat. It is a 4-player coop.

Dead Island: Riptide (2013) - is an action role-playing survival horror video game, also for Windows, PS3 and Xbox 360. The game is a sequel to 2011's Dead Island, with a plot continuation as the five survivors arrive on another island in the Banoi archipelago, which has also been overrun by zombies. This has a 5-player coop.

Dead Nation (2010) - PlayStation Network dual-stick shooter. The game detects players' geographic locations and groups them accordingly within the game world, displaying players' progress in that region. Multiplayer can be done locally or online for two players.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare (2010) - is the fifth downloadable content (DLC) pack released for Red Dead Redemption. It was released for the PlayStation 3 and for Xbox 360. Undead Nightmare follows the exploits of John Marston, as he searches for a cure for an infectious zombie plague that has swept across the American Old West. Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Collection which does not require the original Red Dead Redemption game to be played. It also has multiplayer, allowing up to four players.

Resident Evil 6 (2012) - is an action-adventure third-person shooter video game and the ninth main installment in the Resident Evil series. It was released for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. It has a two player mode.

Resident Evil 5 (2009) - it is also has a two player mode. It's on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows as well.

There's also the Left 4 Dead series which is a cooperative first-person shooter arcade-style video game. It is multiplayer in which four survivors must cooperate to survive a zombie apocalypse. Sadly, it is not available for the PS3. It is only available for Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360 and Mac OS X. I'm suggesting it because if you want to play it, maybe think about playing it on the PC?

Should I buy a gaming pc in parts or all at once?

best gaming pc 1200 image

Jose

I'm trying to build a gaming PC that's around $1400.00. I'm on a tight budget so i was thinking i could buy it in parts. This would allow me to splurge a little on better parts. Problem is the return policy is only good for 30 days so if something's broken, I've just got a bunch of expensive paper weights lying around. This is my first time doing this and I'm curious as to how it's normally done. Any suggestions?

Answer
$1400 isn't a "tight" budget for a gaming PC. In fact, I would consider a budget over $1k quite roomy. A common midrange build goes for around $750. The tightest budget gaming build I ever worked on was ~$500.

So with $1400, buy it all at once. There is absolutely no reason to do otherwise.

Here's a ~$1200 build:
http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=17385591

Note that there's enough extra budget space to a combo of any of the following:
>SSD, Bigger case, higher end motherboard, water cooling, more RAM, bigger HDD, or better GPU (though the GTX 670 is already the second fastest single-GPU card on the market).

How can I build a computer that can run any game as good as a console?

WOO

I'm wanting to build my first gaming PC. I have a cap of 1200$ but I would really prefer to go much lower than that. (Considering I'm having to scrape up every dime of it by Scrap Metal and Selling things on Craigs list) I'm pretty lost.

I am wanting to plug this computer into my 32" TV for gaming and movies.

The games I want to play are

N64 Emulator

SNES Emulator

NES Emulator

Sega Emulator

MineCraft

Assassin's Creed

Skyrim

Battlefield 3

COD Black ops 2 (All COD games)

Portal 1 and 2

Left for Dead 1 and 2

Indie Games (Like Slender, Luna Games, Ao oni, etc)

I want it to play HD Movies/Video preferably my Blu Rays.

--------------------------------------------------------

I'm wanting to go with a i7 Intel processor and 16 Gig of ram and the case is Coolermaster Haf 922m. The rest I am lost on. I don't know WHICH i7 processor I need. I don't know WHAT Motherboard is best, I haven't got the first idea on what to look for in a Video card or how much to go on one or if I need a Sound Card. I don't know how much I really need to spend to get what I want.

So could somebody help a little? and I'm BUILDING this. I want to learn, so I am not going to buy a prebuilt.

what gaming computer should i get for 500-600 dollars?

best gaming pc under 600 dollars image

Gage

Okay so I am a thirteen year old kid who has saved up six hundred dollars to buy a gaming computer... The only question I have is, what computer should I get that runs at least 60-70 fps in skyrim and battlefield 3 for under 600 dollars? Any ideas?

Answer
I'd get this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285

It'll do what you want.

Those people who are saying you're out of your mind are idiots. Battlefield 3 can be run easily on a $600 pc if the graphics are all turned down to low.

Building a pc would probably let you run the game on medium settings, or save you a hundred. I built my PC for $1100 to run it on ultra, and I'm 16. Just watch tutorial videos, like the How to Build a Computer series on Newegg's youtube channel.

Answer
Better to go with at least the Geforce 280 or the Radeon 5400.

Is 1 gb graphics card good for an average gamer?

Sagar

I am not that hardcore gamer.I have a ps3,but I want a good gaming pc.So will a 1 gb graphics card of nvidia run almost all games smoothly?

Answer
You have to understand.....1 GB does not mean anything. There are excellent 1 GB cards (like the 6870/6970 Radeon) and there are horrible ones (like the 6450). There are several other factors in determining a video card's performance that are far more important. Anything above 1 GB is not going to be meaningful unless you have a decent card bandwidth and are running on a very high resolution screen

Maybe you should give us a budget and we'll tell you the best card in that price range
