Is this computer worth buying?

Postby iOblivionK » Fri Nov 26, 2010 7:04 am

So I'm kind of new to PC gaming I usually play my Xbox 360 but I found a pretty fun game that I played at a friends house. Just wondering if either of these computers are worth buying for games. (I don't have much cash to spend on a computer atm, I'm out of work.)

Computer 1:

Compaq Presario Desktop
AMD Athlon II 160u Processor
Windows 7 Premium
4GB Memory
500GB Hard drive
(And a recommended graphics card preferably in the $0-$65.00 range)

The game I want to play is Genesis A.D.

Computer 2:

HP Pavilion Desktop with VISION Technology from AMD-Premium
AMD Athlon II 635 Quadcore Processor
Windows 7 Premium
6GB Memory
750GB Hard Drive
(And a recommended graphics card preferably in the $0-$65.00 range)

computer 2 would run games, the cpu on computer 1 wouldnt handle much. The motherboard for computer 2 will likely have better built in graphics than you will get out of a $65 vid card to.
