RAM or vid card?

[tay104]

That's why my name is Dave, right?

Yes, yes it is.

But would that computer be able to handle Bioshock 2, Crysis 2, etc? I mean, my current computer can't run TF2... :c

Maybe on medium settings, but don't quote me on that.  Either way, you're going to find better performance with a desktop.

On topic, being useful, I also need help picking a computer, but I don't want to talk about that here.

[tay104]

You failed at being a smartass.

[cucumberdude]

That's a little price-y! 500 :c

How about the stock 5670? Is that going to severely damage my experience? :/

EDIT: Also, should I go for the I7 core? I can afford that :3

[Evo Chief]

EDIT: Also, should I go for the I7 core? I can afford that :3

Yes.

[cucumberdude]

Okay, I was looking around, and heres what I found: for about the same price I can either get...

-i3 w/ 5770
-i5 w/ 5670
-i7 w/ 5670

Hurr, nvm about the i5, I guess I might as well get the i7 for about the same price :3

So, which processor/video card combo should I choose?

[cucumberdude]

Someone :c

[tay104]

5770, but Dave is gonna come in here and bash me isn't she?

Also, right among the ASUS cards is one for $409. link
