774645 2009-05-17 06:39:00 Get an 8800GT and your PC should be more than adequate for the above games. qazwsxokmijn (102)
774646 2009-05-17 07:06:00 Why not a 4850? Not much more expensive but waay faster.

BTW If thats the E5200 Processor you're talking about, its very overclockable, you can get to 3ghz easy even with the stock cooler(bit hot though)

Grab an aftermarket cooler later on and overclock for a nice boost.

What resolution do you play to game in and on what size screen?

How much RAM do you have?

Not to mention an 8800 is old tech now. 4850 or better if you can afford better.
