Cpu: Amd Athlon II X3 450 3.2GHz Ram: 4 Gb Gpu (Disappointing): ATI Radeon HD 4250 Integrated I play on all lowest settings because I really don't care how a game looks. I have bench marked it vs other games and I suspect around 15-30 FPS with all lowest settings. I just want to double check.

Tried it. Did not work.

Hmm. As a price range I am going to say about 300-400. I am not looking for anything amazing, just good enough to play games on with good FPS. Having a motherboard would let me build up from there, I am fine with a Stock Heat Sink fan. As for power supply nothing over the top. I like the other suggestion of 8 GB of ram, Corsair Vengeance was my first choice seeing it highly recommended. As for HDD or SSD I think that an HDD would suit me better ( for now at least :P). I'd really appreciate the advice of what parts to get because I have literally been looking at parts all day.

Thanks mate. And Beans to you for being a bit kinder than the previous repies. I've been building one for some time now but it isn't near completion. And I haven't let Minimum Requirements stop me before. Thanks again.

Gmod, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft, Half life 2, and Sid Meiers Civ 5 all run good for me. And if I am to upgrade, suggestions? (this is a laptop, in case you haven't figured it out, Working towards a gaming PC)

Hello I have recently bought Arma II Combined Operations from Steam and installed the Day Z mod. I can play the game except I get about 4 fps. Here is my rig: Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard Processor AMD Sempron™ SI-42, ~2.1GHz Memory 2814MB RAM (Windows says 3.00 GB, not sure why different) Hard Drive 160 GB Video Card NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G Physics Card No ( I got this from my Xfire account) I have all setting on the lowest. I can play other CPU intensive games of the same caliber with about 60 FPS. The only other program I run with it is of course, Steam. I have done the thing where you open the Arma 2 text file and change the values to 1 and that helped a little. Please help me I really want to play this game and I should have been able to run it. Thank you.
