(1/9) > >>

Tezuni:
I'm on a budget, but I want to be able to run games like battlefield 3 and skyrim.  (don't laugh :'()


I'm guessing the main parts affecting performance are the GPU, CPU, and amount of ram installed... am I right?  Also to use all this I'll probably need a new motherboard and PSU too...
Basically I'm looking for the cheapest way to do this by also keeping what parts I don't need to replace....any suggestions?

Xrain:
1. Tell us what components are currently in the computer you own.

2. Tell us your budget

3. How well do you want to be able to play battlefield 3 and skyrim, on low? ultra?

Ἆxule:
I'm in the same situation.
I've bought skyrim, but even with low quality and such, it's still pretty slow.
For me:
Budget - around 1k
Performance wanted - ultra if possible, I can go one lower.
Specs - I have a laptop...
