*free far cry game :D*

well i just want some feedbacks of what u think, i kno its not much but thats all i could squeeze with my budget, $385 and i had to ask my mom to pay for the rest lol! i kno im kinda bummed about not getting the s939 and got the s754 =/. u guys think i could run far cry/doom 3/hl2 pretty good? i have geforce fx 5200... i kno its that good buy im broke, gotta save up...

That will be sufficient.. check the signature 8)

The FX5200 will be a huge bottleneck for your system until you upgrade though...

the graphic card is definitely gonna be the bottleneck. The system itself should be fine. You can always upgrade the graphic card when you got more money. I think far cry should run okay at 5200 (it should be playable, it won't be able to do high resolution but should be fine at low resolution and all the AA and such turn off.

It will be the bottleneck but it is the easiest thing to upgrade next to say adding RAM. Once you get that taken care of it should be a really nice system.
