So, I'm quite sure this will even run crysis and assassins creed, but is the 450w enough for this?
I'm getting 2 or 4 gigs of RAM later too.

[Rob]

450w is more than enough, but that video card will not run Crysis very well.

You sure about that?
I've seen worst cards to run it pretty smoothly.
It's the best i found in that price range in my country.
It costs 110 dollars.
And i don't want vista and i have crt monitor what means mora ram for games.
Edit: I'm not looking for best quality in games.
Even the lowest quality is better then most games my computer can handle right now.

[Spastic]

That card should run Crysis, not at high details, or with any AA turned on, but it will run. I looked around and got a benchmark from this site. (http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6977&Itemid=1&limit=1&limitstart=1) It seems like that card will be the bottleneck of your system, if you upgrade that you should be able to run Crysis on higher details.

I would advise upgrading to an 8000 series NVidia card, you can get them fairly cheap nowdays, and I rate them higher than ATI, although thats a personal preference.

Thanks for finding that.
I will be more then pleased even if i can play on medium.
One more thing tough... The card in there is normal version... Mine is overclocked one, and thats better.

I have done quite much research on those and geforce cards with same speficications are twice or more times expencive.

Oops, sorry for double posting.

I don't think the GPU clock has a whole lot to do with the FPS you will be getting, if anything you'll see a negligible difference.

[Tener]

What about the memory... Original has 128 bit but OC version has 256 bit.
And I'm getting a feeling that you know more about computers then me(so do most of people) Anyway... What do you think, is it a good card for 100 dollars?

[Spastic]

If you aren't looking to run top of the line games at the highest settings, then yes it is a good budget card. I would invest into a Nvidia 8800GT if you ever get the money though, that is one of the best cards, and my favorite, that is out on the market right now.

The transition from 128 bit to 256 could cause an increase of FPS, but like I said, I wouldn't set my heart on playing Crysis on high.

A hundred bucks is the most I would pay for a card.
And like I said, I just want to play the games, not crank them up to their max.
Medium in there is just enough for me.
And a little question. Am I able to play assassins creed on this smoothly?
Processor is good enough, RAM is just on minimum line...

[Spastic]

Yeah, Assassin's Creed will be fine, a friend of mine uses a HD Pro 2900 model to run it, and he runs it on high, but with DX9 shaders.

[Tener]

And then there's this... I'm not sure I'm able to build the computer...
Like putting it together.

And Spastic, can you check if the case and motherboard match.
They are both in ATX form, but the usb ports and stuff.

And is it hard to change the stock sound card with new one?
And what tools to i need for putting the computer together?

[Spastic]

You need a screwdriver, and that is pretty much it. It's not so hard putting one together, but I wouldn't advise your first build be on a new computer. Installing a sound card is a simple as sticking it into the PCI slot, then downloading drivers.

You can probably find someone to put it together for you, for a price. It is not the best idea to mess around with computer parts if you don't know what you are doing. As for your case and motherboard matching, you would have to send me a link to the case, since I have never heard of it.

Well I guess I can find...All I have done is changing the hard disk and cleaning it from inside a few times.
Case:

(mine is 450w version)

Motherboard:

[Spastic]

Looks like it will work fine with that case. Mid towers can hold almost any motherboard.
