How do these specs look for my desktop?



Holygod that image link is long.

Holygod that image link is long.

Realized that, and it didn't even work. Not using that again. >.>

I was about to say "What specs?"

Get an i7 Extreme instead.

And the reason there's no speakers/monitor is because we have another monitor at my house I'll use and speakers.

>GTS240

If you can spare the money, upgrade the GPU.

Get 4gb of ram and upgrade the graphics card. You are bottle necking in like all areas. lol

The only other graphics card choice I have is a nVIDIA GeForce G310 512MB DDR3.

Uhhh... GPU?

Can't go that high. Highest is Intel® Core™ i7-870 processor(8MB Cache, 2.93GHz).

Get the ATI equivalent, you can spend the spare cash on uprating that... something

Also, if this is a computer thread
Processor   Intel® Pentium® DualCore G6950 (2.80GHz, 3MB Cache)
Motherboard   ASUS® P7H55-M SI: MICRO ATX VALUE MAINBOARD
4gb RAM
Graphics Card   1GB ATI RADEON™ HD 5670 PCI EXPRESS

Am I bottlenecking in any areas? (this is what I plan on getting)

Go to your local magazine/book/newsagent/something-similar-shop and buy a computer magazine.

This is how you learn about computers and if they're good. If your english/irish/can actually find the magazine, get PCFormat. They're great.

ATI graphic cards suck.

ATI graphic cards suck.
the brand name sucks, that is why you can save a ton of money on it
