This is what I'm getting for my birthday

If it doesnt what must I upgrade or look for in another build?

[Kinggdawg]

Nah it won't at high settings, you can at low though.
Nothing wrong with um Processor and Ram, its your video card.
The intel HD 2000 sucks...

My rig @ high settings 60 FPS capped (v-sync)
Ram: 4GB DDR3
Processor: Intel I5 480-m @ 2.66 GHZ
Video card: Nvidia GT 540m
HDD: 640 GB
Display: 15-6 LED LCD

and yeah it was cheap $1100 laptop

[Karmar]

How hard would it be to put in a new video card?

Because if thats the only problem couldnt I just put a new video card in?

[bowdown]

Why do they label that as a Gamer PC? They make it look all fancy and put in a shit ass Integrated Intel video card.
Dont buy that bro. Ask around others for more suggestions on the forums. Im studying for a test or else would indulge you myself.

[Karmar]

Cant I just replace this horrible graphics card with a better one?

Thanks for your input and awesome Sig man

[2Kstealscash]

yes the point of that system is so you can put whatever graphics card you want in there. Just pick one from here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gam ... ,3018.html

You could probably get something better than that. May I ask what you budget is?

[Karmar]

Around here is pretty much my budget.

If this doesnt play Nba 2K12 I'll just play it on my laptop that is handling it well so far.

I should really ask how is this for gaming in general?

[natche21]

Just build your own computer karmar, im planning to get a phenom II x4 processor next month so i can run everything at max

[Karmar]

I have been thinking of doing that.

But I really dont want to have to spend some time on my birthday trying to put a computer together.

[karlsanada10]

What's your budget? you can get a lot better than that.

600 dollars?
NOTE: THIS IS ON PESO. Just divide it to 43.

26K? $600+ there. You can play it on max.

Plus i think you can save more when you build your own, my cousin here in the philippines build his phenom II x4 + a 4gb ram and a good video card for only $250-$300

[karlsanada10]

@karmar: natche21 is right. Some stores are free-assemble if you buy all of the components there.

MONSTER Hahaha! There are rumors that windows 8 will enable xbox360 gaming on pc so i guess if you build this your good to go hehe

[shadowgrin]

What?! That is one of the good things you can do on your birthday. Doing things yourself.

@karmar: natche21 is right. Some stores are free-assemble if you buy all of the components there.

Just check the parts to be sure that the ones you bought won't be replaced by inferior ones or watch them while they assemble it, which is usually the case.

[karlsanada10]

^Yup, you're right. And if something is wrong. RMA it, it's that easy because you're living in America, right?

@natche: That's the one I would be buying but with higher specs. kinda. Excited for it.xD

costs less then the computer you posted and will run the game much better.

Upgrading the Graphics card to an ATI Radeon HD 4670

Which should allow me to run NBA 2K12 Fine

[2Kstealscash]

don't get a 4670 get a 5570 like the othfer guy

[Karmar]

Well really I'm going to end up bringing the computer to my neighboorhood PC Warehouse.

There they should be able to tell me what graphics card I should be getting that can still run on the same power supply that it comes with.

I'll be going with the best I can

[natche21]

You should upgrade the processor man, i think 2k12 needs q quad core or something to set the player details on high settings

[karlsanada10]

Awww...your budget us like 500 dollars right and want to buy a package.

PC that you build>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.package. I mean, you would love your ou wn PC because you choose the part, and you can play anything you throw at it.

[airBerlin]

You should upgrade the processor man, i think 2k12 needs q quad core or something to set the player details on high settings

FALSE.

[karlsanada10]

@natche: Well some say that it's optimized on dual cores processor. But others say that it hogs your quad. I dunno. You can play NBA2k12 in a dual core you know with decent fps.

But i think dual core cant handle it when the player details is set to high
