I need to buy a new pc... just wondering if this pc's graphic card is good for playing sro...
http://www.scanmalta.com/SYS-XClio-6100.html

or should i ask them to change the graphic card or something?
I'm not after extremely high graphics but just graphics that can be kept at a good level while still maintaining FPS, and a graphic card that doesnt burn out or anything... so is this one good?
oh and is the pc actually worth buying or is it a rip off?

and what about this one? its the cheaper (and slightly worse, obviously) alternative:

Thanks in advance :)
(P.S. keep the computer talk real simple lol)

iv said it before and il say it again

most pc's will play sro good

if you want a bench mark, try using more demanding games eg: 'will it play crysis?'

if you want a good computer nvidia 8800 graphic card upwards, amd processor (same as you got in them ones you listed), 2gb or more ram

sound, monitor, keyboard + mouse all dont matter so much

Good info, but also note that if you're buying a pc dont get like the most expensive CPU ever and get a crappy card and think that because of the good CPU everything will be fine. You should balance out things and you could come up with a very nice PC

I'm not a fan of the 9600. Better to upgrade to the 9800 or 8800.

I wouldn't even pay 1/2 of the price of those PCs. The expensive one is like 1400 euros but it only has like 450-600 euros worth of parts.

just buy best price-performance stuff,
like e6750 proccessor , 8800gt card with 2-3gb ddr2 will play not only silkroad but any other game and will play few in future as well :P


anyways both computer uve pointed will play silkroad just fine, the first one will fly tho...
but to be serious these 1gb video cards not always a best choise...

even 8600gt will run crysis on low-med settings on almost playable FPS :)

i dont see any point getting cards past 8800gtx right now, they wont perform a whole better than this one but the price you will pay is gonna rise so alot :P

so if i get the 2nd computer (worth 999 euros) and ask them to replace the graphic card with an 8800gtx, would that it work?
