Hi all I am new to this forum. I just have a few questions. I am planning on building a new pc but have some concerns on what i am thinking about buying. Here is a list of what I am thinking:
Intel pentium d 950 dual core processor
Asus P5LD2 Deluxe motherboard w/ intel 945p chipset
2 GB PC5300 Kingston memory
ENERMAX ELT620AWT LIBERTY ATX 12V VERSION 2.0 620W UL & FCC POWER SUPPLY
Sapphire ATI Radeon X1600Pro 512MB DVI/VGA/TV-Out PCI-Express Video Card
Western Digital Raptor 74GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
I have everything else I need. My questions are:
1) Is this computer good enough to run high end games at present and in the near future?
2) Is the dual core processor worth the extra price?
3) Is the graphics card good enough or do I need to spend the extra money and go one step higher? (can't afford the high end ones)
4) Is there anything in there that needs upgraded?
My main purpose for this computer is just to play video games and maybe run multiple games at once. Also may run two monitors on this system never done it but want to have the option open later on. Thanks for any advice given in advance.
