I can't play GTA IV or any other game on my current pc, but I am getting a new one. What is recommended that I put in it? Going for between 700 to 1000.

You can customly build one. Unr3al has a thread in the Random section. What I did is buy a Dell XPS 8300 standard with extra RAM and stuff, and I'm soon getting a new GTX 550ti or 560 ti, but it depends if I'm responded to.

I've got the 560Ti, if you can afford it, get it, it's much more powerful than the 550.

Ah, I see. What MoBo do you have?

Okay.

Okay.

Give us the rest of your specs so we can tell if there is anything else you need to upgrade. There's no point in upgrading the GPU to find that your processor is bottlenecking the rest of your kit.

@Tom: No idea. I can tell you I have an Intel Core i5 2320 CPU 3.00 GHZ.

Don't want to hijack, let's leave this guys thread, finish this in a PM.

Okay, so I have Windows XP SP 3, ATi Radeon xpress 200 , Intel Pentium 4 , 1 GB memory , 250 GB Hard Drive. What else do you need?

P.S. I dont care about the tech talk...its fine. Also you can find all the things be googling HP Pavilion a1340n.

Yeah, your CPU isn't good enough for the game I'm afraid, and you graphics card needs to be upgraded too.

May I suggest 1 gig of ram more, which would be the maximum :thumbsup:
