If anyone can give me specs with what I will need to buy om the budget I posted above, please reply here or pm me. Computer on site is called : Assassin GTX 650 Ti.
Custom name by the way. If you want to know site pm me and I will tell you on msn or something. Don't know if I allowed to in PM either.

What you need to do is build your own. Sites like this will overprice and limit your choices. Everything you need is here:

And you're fine to post the links.

I strongly recommend building one. You save tonnes of cash, you know the inside out of your own computer (if anything goes wrong) and it's something extra you will have learnt! It's not as hard as you would have thought. Newegg have some brilliant tutorials on YouTube. Check them out, then decide!

To find out what sort of games can be played using a certain GPU, you'll need to look up the benchmarks for it. For the 650ti they are: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

That is for BF3, which (I believe) is considered the most graphics demanding game. An xbox runs it on medium - high settings I think, and I get lag. This will run about the same - which isn't bad! You could do better, though.

Go onto R00t's topic - very quick and he'll recommend a brilliant build. You'll struggle with such a small budget though.

The xbox also only runs at 720P resolution. If your at 1080P you will not maintain 30FPS, which means the game will not be playable. Especially during firefights. BF3 uses 2GB's and you've got one. If you run your monitor at 720P or less, no AA, you will get it to run at low-medium settings and should maintain 30fps...
