What would I need to run games like watch dogs or gta v(pc version this fall)? I know that the graphics card aren't up to date and need to buy good 1.

I would look into the GTX 750 ti (I just got the evga superclocked edition). It's a good card if you aren't looking to spend a lot. I got mine here for $139.99 and I'm super happy with it. It can run games at 1080p though you will have to balance some settings but it would be equivalent or better than running it on the ps4 or Xbox one. This card can run Titan Fall better than Xbox one also.

You will need a fairly substantial gpu. I would think the following gpu's would work well. 680, 770 4gb oc, 780, 780ti, 960 (most likely), 970 (perfect), 980 would be more than enough. I have two 980's in sli running 3 of these.

I had no problem running it on Win 8.1 Pro x64. I remember there is a small issue with GFW Live not working when I got GTA IV, but I found a patch that worked and I was able to play it with GFW fully working.F3 launched fine without any problems, GFW was working fine (since I fixed it before already for GTA, it did not need to be fixed again).My hardware is GTX 760, i7 4770K @ 4.5 Ghz, 4GB RAM. I made no modifications to the game other than adding a couple files to make my PS3 controller act as an xbox one in game. All fx settings are maxed, and I have no problems.PS, Steam warned me that it was not optimized for Win7 I had no problem running it on Win 8.1 Pro x64.

Arma2 runs fine. Haven't tried GTA but I think it would be fine. Dots 2, civ 5, airland battle all run great.

Windows XP is the OS - so no, there is NO WAY GTAV will even install on this system. The RAM is measured in MB, not GB - so practically any game made after 2008 won't work. I have a flash drive that also has 3x the memory as the hard drive on this system - it is a garbage, backup system AT BEST and a doorstop at worst (currently its a doorstop for me)

The Radeon HD6670 will handle mostly any games out there at medium setting very easily. Plus there is always room for upgrade in the future. Hope it helps

you should be able to play those game, but you will want to upgrade you video card down the road.

Don't know about the specific models you mentioned, but when I first got this game I was using a AMD radeon 6870, and the game ran terrible. Cut scenes video and audio were way out of sync. frame-rate was terrible. Since then I purchased a Nvidia GTX 970, and It runs great.

It's been adequate for me. Although in Watch Dogs, CPU has been pegged at a consistent 75% usage. But as others have said, the game is not optimized. Other games (released 2011-2013) have been perfectly fine.

Absolutely not. If you want to run those sort of games then you will either need to build yourself a computer for about $800 (which includes peripherals and a monitor) or buy one of the $1000+ computers. If you were to get this computer, then you would need to immediately upgrade the graphics card. And if you upgrade the graphics card, then your computer will only be as fast as the slowest component which would be your processor. This processor is a quad core processor, but it is slow for its class.

Yes I believe that you should be fine. I have a previous version of that set up and it has the gtx 670. I haven't found a game it won't run.

All nowadays games are playable. Depends what stuff You got in it and what video details you choose. RAGE - Max Detail works fine &gt; 40 FPS, Call of Duty - Max detail works fine &gt; 30 FPS, Asaasin Creed I - Max detail - Works Great, Duke Nukem Forever - perfect Crisis I - Max - Fine GTA 4 - Max detail - sometime get slowly but mostly works smooth. Every game till late 2012 should working smooth and without any problems. Sometimes I have to change resolution below 1024x768 and set antyaliasing to minimum, but in fully detail and 800x600 on screen is 11 inch looks always great and You did not notice differences betwin them.

This is a great graphic card but mine did not come with a game. I play Assassin's Creed on full specs on 2560 x 1440 resolution using a apple monitor and works amazing!

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

It will destroy Watch Dogs. Nothing on the market will even phase this GPU, unless you're playing a Racing sim, or Hawken, on 3 screens simultaneously, don't even worry about performance. As long as you keep your screen count to less than 4 (on this GPU, of course. Feel free to add monitors to your mobo), you can run anything maxed out.

I don't know. I've found the memory to be sufficient though. But I tried installing an ASUS silent 210 graphics card and it actually made the games worse! I'd buy from Amazon so you can return the memory if there is any problem. That's what I did with the graphics card.

I have windows 7 but not sure what kind of video card I have. The game works fine for me.
