Hi guys, I just bought a custom built PC from the Cougar Systems website and wanted to know what you guys thought of it. Im hoping to be able to run games like battlefield 2, COD 4 etc........its a budget option, and i know it wont deliver the best performance on games like these, but at least if it can run them adequately ill be happy

here are the specs:

Processor - Sempron athlon 2.6GHz L2 1024k cache
RAM - 2GB Kingston DDR2 667
HD - 80GB SATA Hard Drive
Video Card - 1024Mb 8500GT Nvidia DDR DVI
Motherboard - AM2 - MSI K9VGM-V 2XDIMM / DDR2 800
O/S - Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Inc SP2


thoughts??

Nothing special in all honesty. It'll work and do stuff but if you're happy with it then that's all that matters
The 8500GT is so far down the "pecking order" in terms of performance, it's only just above the minimum graphical requirements for Call of Duty 4 alone. It's very much a budget card as things go, however you do get what you pay for.

cheers neil, yeh as i say, its very much a budget buy, got the whole setup (inc. monitor etc.) for £400. Realise i could have got a better deal by buying parts seperately etc. but im just too [bleep] lazy

Hi, I know you want to make it as cheap as possible, but if you can spend a little bit more on cheapest dual-core AMD processor that you can find, I'd say it much worth it..

strange you should say...i called up cougar today and hustled them for some better components...new specs are:

2GB Corsair DDR2-800 ram
512 8600GT vid. card
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+
...and the rest is same as above

all for the same price, think its an alright deal. What you reckon?
