how the forget did you get that in that fancy table?

I'm also getting a computer. I ordered a custom, everything is fine until I realized my power supply is wrong. Now I will get shipped an GTX 460 with a power supply with no capability to comprehend such need. The PC will be in warranty too, so I won't be able to open the case and put another supply on. (I got a prebuilt PC and asked the people there to add that video card, however, they didn't tell me if they are compatible or not, them loving greedy bastards.).

The specs would've been:

Intel i5 2.8 GHz Quad-Core (11.2 GHz total)
Palit NVIDIA GeForce GTX460 Sonic 1gb DDR5
2 terrabytes hard drive (Which I have no idea what I will use on)
4 GB DDR3

forget my life.

I manually built the table, put some break lines in it and such. Just so everything is readable and such.

Ethan, would something like that happen?

To be honest, computer warranties are stuff anyway. You can always locate the source of the problem, and most companies have warranties on those parts anyway, e.g XFX has a lifetime warranty on its GPUs.
Just open it up :)
Also, 2.8GHz with 4 cores doesn't mean 11.2GHz total. It just means 4 processors working beside each other to compute problems that can be divided between them.

BTW What wattage is the PSU in it?

It's not me that isn't ok with the idea, I would've bought the PC from 0 if it was for me, and keep the HDD (update new drivers, move to new hardware, delete old drivers), but my dad isn't ok with the situation, seeing he's the one that's "funding" this.

Ethan, you're sure all my parts will function together, right?

Also, what can they do game wise? Portal 2 on max?

Complain to the stuff company that built it.

Portal 2 on max, Bad Company 2 on max, Mafia 2 on max (depending on resolution moreso).
Even Crysis 2 on max, depending on resolution.
What is your monitors resolution?

New one would be the one from the topic post. 1920x1080.

500 watts.


500 watts.
That should be ample for a 460 so long as it's a reliable brand or 80+ gold, silver or bronze.
I'm running a faster 5850 on a 550w with no problem, the recommended was 500, but I went one over.

Crysis 2 would possibly be a bit of a problem at that resolution, but you'd still be able to medium detail it with playable FPS.

Ah, not that I'd play Crysis. It is just a good base of top performance. Portal 2 and MSN at the same time? :P

Lol?
Of course. It's not one of those computers you'd have to exit half your processors before you game. It's a great multitasker.

Ah, Good. The only way I can play Garry's Mod on this one is closing absolutely everything. And even then, my computer will simply shut off from the load.
