That GFX Card is shit. No seriously.
Atleast take a HD6850, it's twice the price but atleast it's for gaming..

Look it up on YouTube, watch benchmarks of it..
Won't play smooth at all, will lag and will be at low FPS all the time (even on Low!)

AMD processors are shit.
Intel are kicking their ass in every way at the moment.

Intel pays the benchmark sites to make so intel is better, Amd does not.

Amd got a higher speed, more cores and are better on the market then Intel.

this is a discussion that never will end.

The following 2 users groaned at doxis for this awful post:
