Ikaede
so i don't really know much about computers. but ofcourse i know that you need a good pc to play games with high graphics and stuff like that. i want to download crysis 2 and i know that it takes quite a bit after what i heard. when ppl start talking about stuff like requirments for playing a game like that i don't understand anything. they'll be like: Would Crysis 2 run on Max settings with these specs?
Intel core i7-960 (8M L2 Cache, 3.20 GHtz)
8GB Dual channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333 MHz - 4 DIMMs-memory
1.5 TB -SATA-II, 3GB/s, 7200 RPM, 32MB Cache HDD-hard drive
Single 1GB GDDR5 NVidia GeForce GTS 450 graphics card
with a THX Tru Studio PC sound card.
that was something i copyed from a site didn't write anything myself. so what does all of this mean? all i know is that i have something like intel inside CORE i7 lol. that stands on a sticker on my pc. i can run gw2 on pretty much the higest graphics. but if i put it all up it begins to lag a little bit, dunno if this will help but. and can u tell me what a graphic card is? thanks for your help lol and i dunno anything about computers. no one has never told me anything about them and i haven't come across a place to learn about it either so don't blame me for not knowing anything.
Answer
Computers can do things like gaming, and let you edit videos, and upload and download from the internet, and many other functions. Each function has certain system needs.
This site shows the parts of a computer whether you buy one or build one:
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
This site scores graphics by G3D test score:

And, by knowing how strong the graphics is, if not held back by a weak CPU or lack of ram or other slowing factors in a PC, you can try to place it on a gaming report table:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
Desktop+laptop at top left, and selecting games, and RESTRICT and find the most similar to a graphics card of interest.
And, Desktop/tower CPU for gaming can be looked up here to see how good a CPU is at gaming:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
You think of a graphics card as making and processing images and the CPU as flipping the pages. Motion is a set of images changes. Now, although there are other factors and can write books about PCs, these things are enough to evaluate. You need more information to upgrade about cases, motherboards, power supplies so if that comes up, you will need to ask for more specifics.
If you have:
Intel core i7-960 > Tier 2 by toms hardware for gaming. It is a nice CPU typically good enough. We can assume it will handle all but the highest levels of graphics cards. No CPU issue.
8GB Dual channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333 MHz - 4 DIMMs-memory > This says as Windows can use about 4GB and you have 4 more, your graphics will use what it can use also. The speed is a current one (1333). You have no RAM issue for gaming.
1.5 TB -SATA-II, 3GB/s, 7200 RPM, 32MB Cache HDD-hard drive > Although SATA III is faster movement of data at 6Gb/s, this is a big hard drive in storage size, still recent, OK speed at 7200 revolutions per minute, so would only be an issue in the highest of graphics cards. No HDD issue.
Single 1GB GDDR5 NVidia GeForce GTS 450 graphics card > Here is the gaming key. At the benchmark site GTS 450 shows 1504. I will add another site that has information about games, graphics, and other things:
http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?gid=423&graphics=GeForce%20GTS%20450
GTS 450 is a level 6 (of 10), supports DirectX 11, Shader 5.0 Open GL 4.1 screens up to 2560x1600 and is 106 Watts. This is software and power information
GTS 450 is listed at Notebookcheck after adding desktop graphics cards, and, Crysis 2 is listed.
59 frames per second at high settings on a 720p screen and 22 frames per second on ultra settings on 1080p. So we can say if you have a 1080p display, you get less than maximum because about 30 frames per second is fluent without lag, but are strong enough for high settings. Battlefield 3 and Skyrim are playable on high settings.
Now, if you want to play at even higher settings, you need a better graphics card. You need to describe your power supply in some way since the 12V power from it powers the CPU+graphics+disk drives+fans of your system. Knowing you can run 104 watts, if you have a PC case of about 7 inches or more wide instead of 4 or 5, you can get a standard graphics card. Crysis-2 on ultra needs better than HD 7770. And to not worry about the power supply, need a power efficient card. Maybe a GTX 650. Available for a little over US$100, it is only 64 watts or so. You can buy a GTX 650 card using PCPARTPICKER and replace the GTS 450 with it.
That is a short course in gaming vs computer specifications and shows where you are at. I can be emailed, or ask another question.

What games can I run on my computer?
Qulk43
I have an Acer Aspire V5-571. My processor is an Intel Core i3-2367M and 1.40GHz. And I have 4 GB ram and a 500 GB hard drive.
Answer
Mostly older games and a few newer ones on low settings
You have Intel HD 3000 at #287 in this gaming table:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
Loads slow.
You can check a game at this site also:
http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=625&game=The%20Elder%20Scrolls%20V
Skyrim at low to medium settings (closer to low than medium)
