Is this a good computer for online gaming, video editing etc?

Q. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-210-OK&groupid=43&catid=1445&subcat=
That's the link to the computer, is it a good value for money and is it worth getting? ;D
Thanks, Tom.
I will be using editing programs like Sony Vegas, Adobe After Effects etc.

A. Yes but a word of advice, I am big windows user and not really fan of Apple but when it comes to video editing, Windows is horrible for video editing, I have been through many video editing software for windows and have been disappointed constantly. When I was in highschool I got used to using Apple's FinalCut Pro and sometimes (although rarely) iMovie. But Macs are expensive and the price of FinalCut Pro is around the same price of the computer it is running on. But for gaming that computer is great for gaming, just don't expect to run Crysis on high settings (which takes a godly computer to do so). But for games like Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2, you would be able to run those on max settings.

i edit with stuff like sony vegas.... and i only do light gaming.

A. well my computer is weaker than yours and I have no problems doing any gaming or video editing, I just recommend you do low-end games and light editing, it won't do anything high end but for low end work it will do just fine, I am still learning how to edit videos and I am having problems doing it

What computer games portray WWII and modern warships?

Q. I have an idea to create a short machinima (a movie using edited CG environments and characters computer games) based on John Birmingham's "Axis of Time" series. It's about a modern day naval task force that gets accidentally sent back in time by a teleportation experiment gone wrong to WWII. When they arrive, their automated defense systems accidentally destroy the US naval fleet at Midway and then they alter the course of WWII.

I'm just wondering, what computer games portray WWII era, modern and futuristic warships?

A. I would say Battlefield 1943 if they didn't cancel it but you can try getting BF2 and downloading a WW2 mod for it.

What are some easy computer games that my grandma could play?

Q. My grandma is not very good with computers but she has played a computer game that she says is really fun. It's called Big City Adventures. I want to get her games that are fun and make her think but are not too complicated. Any suggestions?

A. Point & Click Adventures, Puzzle Games, Simulators (like Sims), turn-based strategy games (so she won't feel rushed), turn-based RPGs (for the same reason), and then the real-time equivalents of both (if she ends up getting bored of the turn stuff).

For someone of advanced years, games that allow an eternity to think and experiment are alright. Make sure it's a game that she can save absolutely anytime, too. It's disheartening for new gamers to go through a lot and then get shot down and have to do it over again.

On the flip side of the coin, there are plenty of elderly people that don't want to feel elderly, or simply don't feel elderly. Games that exhilarate or put them at a fast pace are just as good. But you have to remember that any game she plays better be a challenge for her brain. So stick to puzzlers, mystery adventure types, strategy games, or even RPGs.

My grandfather who is 63 and has had a stroke is simply OBSESSED with Divinie Divinity and Beyond Divinity. He still plays Might and Magic games, too. As well as the strategy version, Heroes of Might and Magic. He's especially into number 5.

Rise of Nations, Age of Wonders, Dawn of War, Medieval Total War, Rome Total War, Age of Mythology, Warlords / Warlords Battlecry series, Disciples series are all great strategy games to get them into. As far as RPGs, everything I mentioned for my grandpa, Wizardry 8, Dungeon Siege, Baldur's Gate... list goes on.

It's a bad idea to assume that the elderly can't handle "complicated" games. You'll bore the hell out of them. There have been cases of 60 or 70+ elderly men with dementia playing some of the strategy games I named above. I've seen and heard of them. Just experiment and see what she likes. There's infinite possibilities; it's the entertainment industry. Everyone is different. I suggest setting her up with random games and see what keeps her in the computer chair (just make sure they are good games, irrelevant of genre).

EDIT: the only games I would NEVER put in front of my grandparents are high-speed shooters, horror games (like Amnesia : The Dark Descent or Deadspace), and racing games.

I would like to keep it around €1000 little more is ok

A. If you can build a computer go for the i7's if your not on a budget tbh a i7 970 will be totally worth it especially after the price drop and it's basically equivalent to a i7 990x difference being overclockability it will render your video efficiently and get a SSD for a boot drive and a 1-2TB drive for storage you should be set GPU wise since your not playing games use the integrated If you can't build computers lol here's a link to a model I think will be great for you :http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=desktops&a1=Category&v1=High+performance&series_name=HPE570t_series&jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/desktops/High_performance/HPE570t_series

What do you do with a bunch of old computer games?

Q. We have a bunch of computer games that my family has outgrown, and don't play anymore, what should we do with them?

A. If the keys to the games don't have to be activated online, you can probably sell them on Ebay or craigslist just make sure to mention that they have been installed before. Or if you want to make an awesome youtube video you could always burn them and post the video of them melting. Money or a small amount of internet fame? your choice! good luck!
EDIT: I forgot to mention you could donate them to wherever the games may be appropriate.

What computer games right have the highest system requirements?

Q. What computer games right have the highest system requirements?

What is that system requirements?

What is the average and highest fps fo all computer games? (high and low system requirements games)

A. What you need:

-A dual core or quad core pentium or AMD (I like
AMD, but pentium is good too).
-2 gigs of DDR2 Ram
-Raided 10000 RPM hard drives. Size is up to you, but bigger is better for storage purposes. The RPM's are the important thing though, and RAID 0 bumps the speed to something fierce.
-NVidea 6800 ultra or better for a graphics card. A dual set up for card is nice, but not strictly necessary.
-450 watt power supply.
-Compatible motherboard (I like Asus better than Abit)
-A 1600-2400 Dpi mouse (noticeable difference there)
-A light-up keyboard so you can play in the dark.
-Soundblaster Audigy w/ speakers & subwoofer.
-Lian Li (or other) case
-Enough fans to keep that SOB cool

You'll be able to play FEAR, Oblivion, Crysis or Far Cry 2 at full optimization AND run a virus scan in the background. No joke man.

Have fun :)

Edit: And definitely go with a lower GHZ dual/quad core over a higher GHZ singlecore. The dual thread architecture is superior in every way, game manufacturers are starting to exploit that.

Looking for good but average price computer for games, programs and a lot more?

Q. I am looking for a good computer with an average price, I am wanting to buy a full computer instead of building one myself if I need to buy some upgrades I will.

What computer would be best for casual gaming and photo editing?

Q. My mother agreed to get me a new computer for my birthday at the end of the month. I plan on using it mainly for simple casual gaming and editing photographs. Me being me have not a clue on what kind I'm looking for or what would be good. I'll be turning 18 btw.

So, what would you recommend?

A. Forget macs - they are crappy for gaming and overpriced anyways (pay for the name only, same parts as in regular PC).
So depending on what you are going to spend there will be different options. Best would be at least $700, with Phenom X4 or Intel i3 or i5. 4GB Ram enough, video card - at least GT 430 or 440 or ATI 5570 for starters and up.
