Hey guys,
Have a question - I'm about to buy a new PC in these days and I need to get some advice - which graphic card should I take?
I want to run 2 Hi5 clients on high details (preferably with AA too, but not a requirement) and to play HD videos on Youtube (watching oly matches hahaha)

I was thinking about some integrated on CPU.... Maybe i5-2400 with HD Graphics 2000? Will it be enough to handle 2 High Five clients?
Or maybe rather some APU? Maybe AMD A8-3850?

I saw some tests where the APU was waaaaaay better in some random games: http://www.svethardware.cz/art_doc-4DC8 ... 3B189.html
But there must be some snag since the APU is by about $50 cheaper than Intel >_<
Or maybe normal CPU + Graphic Card? :roll:

What is "cheap" for you? Also what motherboard/processor/power supply are you running currently? If you want good performance for cheap, better get an amd crossfire setup. You can easily get something what can handle all new games, and play h5 with an easy 4 windows on high for around 450-500 euros now(im talking mb, proc, gfx and ram :) )

Same :lol:
L2 engine is more CPU based, so you should be aiming to better CPU, not graphic card

Well, I now have AMD 3000+, asus 1650x series and some 1GB ram and it barelly handles single Hi5 window on low details :(

I need whole new PC... I need
1) Quick response of the system (Not SSD, but quick :))
2) These 2 Hi5 windows on high details
3) Fluent HD Youtube videos
That's +- all, budget is ~650$ for whole case with OS (no monitor/keyboard/mouse etc...)

Lmao I was running it on a 2 ghz pentium 4 northwood and a 6600gt video card and you guys are asking if you can run it on those systems? Hell..

Ok I'll play along.

Core i7 2600k oced to 4.4 ghz in boost, 16 gigs of ram and gtx 560.

I DONT THINK MY PC CAN HANDLE L2! WHAT YOU THINK MENS?
