The MOST IMPORTANT part in PC gaming is the graphics card you have! It is what allows the games to run. Read below to check your GPU specs.
To check all of the specs on your graphics, download You must login or register to view this content. You must login or register to view this content.
[multipage=CPU ]
The next MOST IMPORTANT part for gaming is your CPU or known as your "Processor!" It tells what your GPU,RAM,etc. what to do. Meaning, the faster the processor, the better chances the game will run.
To check all the specs on your Processor, download You must login or register to view this content.
I recommend a Dual-Core at 1.8GHz per core or higher! You must login or register to view this content.
[multipage=RAM ]
Last but not least, your physical memory otherwise known as RAM! RAM arranges/organizes the things you run for better performance. So the more RAM you have the better! To check how much RAM you have, Click on Start>RIGHT-CLICK My Computer>Properties and it should show your RAM at the bottom. I recommend at LEAST 1GB of RAM for older games, newer games more then likely will need 2GB.You must login or register to view this content.
[multipage=If You Still Don't Know ]
Finally, if you still don't know if your PC will run the game you are wanting to play. Go to System Requirements Lab You must login or register to view this content. and click on the drop-down box then click on the game you want to play. Click the "Can I Run It?" button. If it tells you to install something, just install it! It's not a virus/spyware or anything else. It just makes it to where it can analyze your computer's specs for you!
NOTE: CAN I RUN IT IS NOT ALWAYS ACCURATE!!!
When its done, it should show something like this but tell you if it fails or passes.

The two programs in the thread helped me a lot, but I was just wondering whether or not there is a website or a program where I can type in the PC specs of a gaming pc and choose the game I want to see if I can run because I'm going to buy a gaming PC soon and this will help, thanks. :y:
