so a AMD X2 6000+ processor wont be able to play games for the next year or 2

It can play games just fine, however Intels offerings are currently superior to AMD's.

[james_8970]

I find Crysis to be more GPU dependent rather then CPU dependent.
As for the settings, yes you should be able to, depending on what you classify as playable.

ok so this cpu you would work fine for a year or 2 so that means i could buy a system with this and spend more mony on the GPU

... and for an extra $20, the E6750 would be my processor of choice

[chancy4342]

ya im pretty sure know that ill get the E6750

[chancy4342]

ok guys my dad just got laid off from his job and my parents cant pay half of the computer anymore so im just going to get a pc that can play the sims2 decently but the budget is 750 (including the monitor) so does anyone have an idea on a build?

[james_8970]

I'm sorry to hear about your father getting laid off.
I suggest making a list yourself and then we'll give you suggestions.

Do you know how to overclock?
Also, I hate to be a pain, but if you give us the price (or link) of things it'll be easily to know if your getting the best performance for your dollar. I have known Pentium D's to reach 300$ (stupidly high) because Intel quit producing them.

[chancy4342]

i edited the post with the links and if you suggest changes i dont want to go above that price.and i dont know how to overclock ive never tried it before but iv read how to do it

[chancy4342]

The above should just get you by for the sims 2 in terms of graphics.

It might be hard, but I think you need to spend a little more money into a monitor. That one is iffy, either that or I'd suggest sacrificing some performance for a better one.
