can i play call of duty 4 on my cpu

i have a

AMD athlon 64bit x2 3800+
2gb ram
ati radeon x1300 PRO
shader version 3.0 pixel and whatever
and 400gb space

 

Yes, but at a very low detail setting. The X1300 pro is a very slow graphics card, so you will have to cut your detail levels and screen resolution quite a lot.

 

\

how about ati redeon x1600 pro

iam gonna list some ati ones can you please check which one is better

ati x1600 pro

ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro

or can you list a good graphics card at 80 $ or less not more thanks

This should do nicely. However, if you have a low rated or cheap brand PSU, you may encounter power issue running a faster graphics card in your PC.

Be advised you will also need a PCI express slot for this card, not AGP.

 

thanks good price too

can it also play crysis and assisins creed and grid and call of duty 4 in high specs?

 

It'll do OK at GRiD though not high, Assassins Creed won't run that well because your CPU isn't that fast. Crysis will run poorly due to both your CPU and that GPU. To run Crysis on high settings you need to spend hundreds on a graphics card and have an overclocked Core 2 CPU, realistically. The game's mad.

 

will a 450 watts do or do i need more

 

Depends which 450W watts it is. A good quality 450W unit like a Corsair VX will do fine, but cheap 450W units typically go up in flames short of 250W, and I'm not joking either.

 

i have one that comes with a case will that do it....

 

don't take chances with it; you can do major damage with an improper psu. like sam said, you need a quality brand power supply. the corsair 450VX will handle the 2600XT.

don't order the card and psu yet, as we are not sure what slot you have. what brand is the motherboard, or computer?

 

If it came with your case, it's in the latter group. Don't take the risk, because when pushed, that PSU will go up in smoke. Denial is an expensive and foolish plan.

 

Well it might go up or it might not i know i took a risk, i ran a Pentium 3 933mhz,D815EFV MB,2x256mb SDRAM PC133,1x IDE HDD,Ati radeon 9550 128mb Extreme AGP,DVD burner,and all 4 usb ports used up+ 1 floppy drive of an old 145W micro ATX PSU which was in this 2nd hand PC the PC being from 2001 and the PSU being the manufacturer one some cheap OEM one and last time i checked in january it still worked and was more reliable then my current new PC.

 

That's because that PC uses about 50 watts... lol

 

what if i buy a

AMD athlon 64bit x2 6000+
2gb ram
500gb space
sapphire radeon HD2600XT 512MB video memory
550watts

then can i play cod4 assasins creed and grid and crysis at high or atleast med...

 

You could buy those, but an Intel core 2 Duo based system will be no more expensive and better, and it's not the wattage of the PSU that matters, it's the brand. There's no such thing as a free lunch, cheap PSUs are bad, no matter how highly they're rated.

If you're buying new parts, go with:
Core 2 Duo E7200
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
Corsair VX 450W
Radeon HD2600XT or Geforce 8800GS

 

but i cant go over 500 $

i have to buy a motherboard

processer and case and ram and keyboard gam controller and a video card all in 500$ so can you make a bundle thats in that priice range a good bundle give links if you have... thanks

 

What do you mean by game controller?

This lot comes to just over 500 dollars, and pretty much exactly 500 after a rebate for the PSU.
Keyboards you can get for a few dollars, I'll let you choose that.

 

in the new build, can't you throw in the 9600GT instead? the XFX 8800GS and 9600GT are the same price at newegg.


off topic: pIII are very reliable. our 8 year old compaq presario originally had the coppermine 700mhz, but i upgraded to the 1ghz. threw in an antec basiq 350, diamond 9250 256 pci, and a much more quieter wd caviar. originally had no exhaust fan, but added an 92mm antec double bb fan. originally had 98SE, but installed win2k pro. parents are using it now, since they don't need the raw power of dual and quad cores. they mainly use it for office and the web.

 

cee: Perhaps, the 8800GS is far cheaper in the UK, but maybe not the US. Irrelevant though as the OP's budget is too low top warrant using either card.

 

is this a good cpu all together so with this can i play all the games in high... thanks
