    Yes it will play FS X but not at the highest settings....you might get medium to run smooth on a low res monitor.....


    @ Squall.....i think he doesnt know what overclocking is....Actually screw all my advice.....vostro 200 and 8800gs is the only safe option if thats the case LOL

    yeh crysis on medium/low settings will run fine!

    COD4 will run at max settings too....that system has pretty much the exact specs of my current system which has cost of 1200 overall.

    hardwareversand.de uses bank transfer so you go into the bank with cash and hand the cash to the person and ask them to transfer it!!!!no credit card required, no crappy system!!!

    *EDIT* you picked yourself some laptop ram there so be carefull! Do some more research on building pc's!

    Seems okay, I would usually say stay away from any 8600 cards, but it should run those games pretty well. Remember.. "delivery date unknown".. could mean you would be waiting a long time for just one component. Also, for 20 euro, they will build the PC for you. Personally I would dig up another 35 euro and get the XFX GeForce 8800GS "XXX" 680M (90 euros or so) just so you can run crysis and COD4 at a nice framerate.

    I'd be wary of buying that case- its of poor quality (as is the PSU)- I nearly bought it but the reviews put me off
