Should i get this gaming computer?

Q. Hello,

lately i have been searching for a decent gaming computer so ive gone to best buy to look and they honestly have nothing there the best that i found in tou he store was a cheap 540 dollar asus which got horrible reviews. Now i have been looking on the bestbuy website and i think i found one that i like(link will be at the bottom). Now before you look at the computer i want you to know that i am what people would say is a begginer gamer im not very knowledgable to computers and specs but i know what is a piece of junk and what is quality equipment(not going by price). So with this computer i am hoping to play games like

-company of heroes 2(medium to high quality good fps[30-40]
-total war rome 2(low to medium with decent fps)
-civilization v(medium to ultra with very good fps)
-arma 2 oa, arma 2 and dayz(low quality to whatever with enough fps to the point i can actually play the game)
-garrys mod, tf2, etc

So please tell me if i got this computer that if i could actually play the games and if you are going to suggest a computer make sure its not like 1200 dollars, my budget is about 700 max thank you.

Heres the link to the computer -------------> http://www.bestbuy.com/site/CyberPowerPC+-+Gamer+Ultra+Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/9177174.p?id=1218994550644&skuId=9177174

A. My Macbook Pro with a 6750M plays Civ5 (with a large amount of opponents), TF2 and GMOD on highest settings above 30FPS. I play DayZ/Arma 2 and Total war on low to medium settings at 30FPS. I have Windows 7 Ultimate installed through boot camp. If I can run it well on a laptop then you can run it even better.


Which gaming computer is better?
Q. Hi, so i went over to a friends house the other day and i played a few games on his PC. I tried out a couple of games like Company of Heroes, Battlefield 3, Starcraft 2 and Bad Company 2. I noticed that his computer performed a lot better than mine. FPS in Company of Heroes was at least 50 fps and Battlefield 3 ran so much better and without lag. I just dont get it... When i compare specs between out computers it seems like mine is the better gaming rig and yet his run so much better than mine.

My Computer
AMD Phenom (tm) II X6 1100T Processor 3.30 GHZ
8.00 GB RAM
1.0 TB HDD
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 TI EVGA
Windows 7 64 bit.

His Computer.
Intel i5 CPU 2.80 GHZ
4.00 GB RAM
500 GB HDD
Radeon HD 5770
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit

So i have a few questions...

1. Why does his computer run better than mine? Is it just perception?
2. Does a monitor make a difference? He has a big fancy 1920x1200 monitor and i have a older 1680x1050 monitor.
3. Is it the processor? Video Card?
4. Is there any upgrades for my computer that you guys recommend?

Thanks

A. It depends upon the specific games... but in most titles, your rig would be better, simply because your graphics card (GeForce GTX 560 Ti) is much more powerful.

On the CPU side, he's got you outclassed. AMD's Phenom II X6 1100T is weaker than their faster clocked Phenom II X4 970-980 when it comes to gaming. And Intel's 2nd generation Core i5's crush anything from AMD. No games utilize more than 4 cores, so 6 and 8 core processors don't provide any advantage for gaming.

That's why his performance in Starcraft 2 is so much better... because that game is mostly CPU driven and in the most CPU-intensive titles like SC2, Civ5 and Supreme Commander, Intel processors are superior.

RTS titles usually don't have very intense graphics anyway so the extra GPU horsepower of a GTX 560 Ti just sits untapped. But in Battlefield 3, Company of Heroes or Bad Company 2 you should be blowing away his results, unless you're enabling AA/AF and turning up the detail levels while he isn't.

Looks like he should be getting 30-40 fps in Battlefield 3 on high settings at 1920x1080, while you should be getting 60ish at 1680x1050

You sure he's got a single Radeon HD 5770 instead of a pair in Crossfire? And you've got a GTX 560 Ti, not a 550 Ti? He shouldn't get close to your results in most games.
