Is my PC good enough?

[Ostfreestyler82]

I'm thinking about buying BF BC2, but as I'm not the hardware crack, I dunno, if my PC is good enough.
I wanted to give you the details about my PC and ask u, if its worth for me to buy the game or if i shall better upgrade my pc.

here it is:

AMD Athlon x2 Dual Core 4600+
ATI Radeon X1900XT
2 GB RAM
Windows XP Professional

Thanks for your Information!

I'm sorry, i think your PC specs are a little to low to play BF:BC2. You need at least a Quadcore and 4GB combined with Windows 7 to pull it off.

OK thanks for the quick answers!

here is a hardware dealer close to where i am living:

ALTERNATE. Hardware - Software - Entertainment

could please someone check this site and tell me, which components i could buy and write it here together with the link from that site? That would be great!

PS. i would like to spend 500,- - 700,- for my new hardware. (A new mother is needed too! )

ALTERNATE - HARDWARE - Prozessoren (CPU) - Desktop - Sockel AM3 - AMD Phenom II X4 955

could someone please check those links and tell me if all components are fitting together and if i shall buy it?
it would cost about 400,- all together.

Thanks!

By the looks of it all will fit, except the 2GB, i would switch to 4GB if i was you. It's a bit more expensive but so much difference in performance.

Do not forget to check your Power Supply Unit, as that configuration will consume considerably more power then your old one. A good A-branded 600W PSU will do nicely, preferably something in the lines of Corsair or Zalman.

yea I got a Corsair 750 W and it works like a charm ;
