Would this computer be good for gaming with no lag?

Processer: AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 840 (3.2GHz)



Memory: 10GB DDR3-1333 Gaming Grade Memory Module



Hard Drive: 1TB 7200RPM Hard Disk Drive



Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS450 1GB Video Card|||The AMD Quad Core is a good processor. I had a similar system about a year ago before I upgraded to the new X6.

AMD is still cheaper then Intel. There are some differences in speed between the two but most are related to encoding and decoding media files which Intel has a lead on.

Personally I have not experienced much difference in gaming on either platform.

As for your memory issue I do have to agree with the other answerer that 10GB is an odd number in terms of memory. To get best performance on any computer system you need to match the memory with the same type. Meaning all same size sticks, clock speed, etc...

As for your hard drive it depends on how much data you store, how many games you install, etc... 1TB should be decent to start with more then likely you may add another drive later on. Most installed games take up between 8-25 GB each.

Your graphics card is good. It should be able to handle most games with medium to high quality. I still run a 1GB 9800GTX which runs battlefield bad company 2 at low/medium at 1024x768 with no problem.

Lag with games is a combination of multiple things your memory, background processes running, and if online your internet connection. Ping speed, up speed, down speed, and your connection type (wireless or wired)

If you are on a wireless lan then you can expect some lag even with the new N routers and cards. Your connection will vary on wireless depending on distance from the router or access point plus walls, objects and atmospheric conditions. If you are a serious gamer then stick with a wired connection.|||If you mean without frame rate issues, it is decent enough. It won't blow away the newest games in ultra high, like BF3 coming out, but it will likely run it and Crysis 2 in medium-high. I was going to say you won't get triple channel with 10GB, (it has to be in multiples of 3 physical sticks), but you can't with AMD anyway.|||Looking at your specs, your computer is quite powerful for gaming . But I would prefer Intel Core i7 for better performance.|||Now that you've finished bragging, go for it.



If ya still wanna upgrade, try a later NVIDIA card, but I doubt that you'll need it.



Before buying a game, check the minimum and recommended requirements printed on EVERY game box.
