When looking to see if a computer is "any good" it's best to look at some key components. 1st, the processor. This is how you can get a read on how new the PC is and how fast. You have one of Intel's new icore processors so you will be well off. Especially at 3.1ghz. Next, you should look at the amount of RAM. 2gb is standard now but if you plan on running Sony Vegas and editing HD video you will want at least 4gb (what you have). Lastly, a graphics card is always nice. It takes some of the work off the processor and helps things run smoothly. Even a cheap $50 card will give you a boost in performance. All in all, you've got a nice PC here. The monitor looks good as well, although at 1080p you may really want to get a dedicated graphics card.

I need a computer to run Rift on medium to high settings at a good fps without breaking the bank.?

Hello,
I'm looking into getting a computer to play Rift, however I'm not very experienced with understanding the necessary computer components. I understand newegg.com is a good site to buy parts from, problem is I do not know what to get and whats compatible. I'd prefer to spend around 800 for parts and a desktop. Once that's done I may be able to manage the building part through tutorials. Any help is appreciated!
Here are the computer requirements:
Recommended System Specifications
Operating system: Windows XP, Vista, or 7
Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or better
Memory: 4 GB
Hard disk space: 15.0 GB available
Desktop Video: Nvidia GTS 250 or better
Notebook Video: Nvidia GTX 200M series or better
Sound: DirectX 8.1 compliant card
DirectX®: 9.0c, June 2010 update
Broadband internet connection (DSL, cable modem, or other high speed connection)

Did you want to build a system from scratch or get a pre-built one?
While building from scratch gets you the highest performance/dollar and is a nice learning experience, you also get the joy of dealing with defective parts which need to be RMA'd, issues with drivers and BIOS versions during the build process and Windows installation etc- issues you can avoid dealing with by getting a system that's already built and tested.
If you're not that familiar with hardware I recommend having a tech-savvy friend help you build. Buy pizza and make a day of it ;)
Even a $600 PC is capable of playing Rift well. This one could play it on high or max settings.

An $800 unit from Cyberpower or Ibuypower could easily max Rift, and is capable of handling more demanding titles like Battlefield:Bad Company 2 and Crysis 2 on high.

With an $800 budget building from scratch, you can assemble something even better. Just remember that you really only have $700 to spend on hardware, because a copy of Windows 7 itself costs $100.
Speaking from experience I can tell you that Rift doesn't require a GTS 250 or better- it's surprisingly efficient with graphics cards. I upgraded a friend's computer for Rift 3 weeks ago with a GT 240 (which is two levels below the GTS 250). I thought he'd be limited to medium settings, but he cranked it up to high without any slowdown, and even maxed it ran smoothly, only about 2fps below what we saw on high. Of course his monitor resolution was only 1680x1050.
So a system with a graphics card in the $110-$150 range like a GeForce GTS 450, Radeon HD 5770, GeForce GTX 550Ti or 768mb GeForce GTX 460 puts you WAY in the clear for running Rift at full HD resolution (1920x1080).

Or go with this build (prices from Newegg)
Processor: Core i5 2400 - $190
Motherboard: MSI PH67S-C43 (B3) LGA 1155 - $85
Graphics card: ASUS ENGTX460 DirectCU 768mb GTX 460 - $150
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333Mhz - $47
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB - $60
Power supply: Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power 80 Plus - $60
DVD Burner: LITE-ON 24X DVD Writer Black SATA Model iHAS424-98 - $25
Computer Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower - $55
and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit builder's pack for $100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986
So that's a total of $772 before taxes/shipping for a system that's far more powerful than any of the pre-built ones linked above. You got rebates coming too, there's $30 alone on the graphics card.
But you'd have to build it yourself, and it's total overkill for Rift anyway ;)
