i tihnk its pretty decent.

Depends what graphics card you get. The 7300LE and X1300 options are crap for gaming. Having said that, they will play the games you listed but anything newer will cause them problems. You'll want the 7900GS option at least.

That's not a bad price for what you get. I'd eventually get a second gig of ram.

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

What sound cards do they offer? Integrated is ok, but a good sound card will give you better sound quality.

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

eh im not to hyped about the sound card itll do for now, i had other options but i was really pushin the credit limit lol. and yea eventually ima get a second gig :D

i have a soundblaster 7.1 LIVE! digital around here some were, its a 24 bit not sure if thats better or not

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

As a rule, seperate sound > onboard sound. There are exceptions if it's an extremely old seperate card or a brand new shiny onboard system, but an SB Live isn't really that old and the vast majority of onboard systems are rubbish.

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

Yeah, stick that thing in there for now. I used to have a 7.1 Live, there pretty good cards if you ignore the buggy drivers.

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

yea it is a bit buggy :P doesnt always like to load

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

Yeah i think you should get some more ram, i think you void the warranty by opening it tho don't you?

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

Some Dell's have a little sticker on the back of them thats stuck across the back and the side of the case that opens, so if you open the case it tears the sticker. Other than that sticker, there not going to know if you opened it up or not unless you tell them, or if you break something thats pretty much impossible to break without opening it.

Re: New computer!!! Yay
 

I wouldn't think it's much of a problem. RAM is generally relatively simple to install.
