    I wish you could talk to one of us Greyzen and a few other could of helped you build a rig much faster better graphics for cheaper.

    You locked processor barely performs better than my processor running at stock speed. Mine is oced to 4.5ghz


    He help me build mine: 771 bucks

    I-5 3570k at 4.5ghz-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
    Sapphire Radeon 7870 OC edition at 1.2ghz-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202025

    I think you kind of got ripped. I-7 with a non unlocked multiplier is a waste of time and money for gaming. 645 isn't much better than your 550ti.

    I'm not big on dell. I bought a laptop for college about 3 years ago for 500-550 and it was pretty crap. Just about enough for word and no games. I study engineering and it couldn't handle a bunch of my programs.

    2 years later I got my current acer laptop for 600 and it is multitudes better in every way. Much more so than the change in pc performance to money over those 2 years would have been. Now I have a better PC but unfortunately some of my CAD software is locked to the old crappy laptop

    There are better value pc makers than dell but I know that their big name can be a big draw, it got me, and they will make a pc that can work. Just don't expect too much.

    I've never cared for more than medium graphics on planetside. On low I can barely see infiltrators' wireframe, but medium renders the shimmer effect which I can see clear as day. Maxed out graphics with PhysX just seems gaudy especially when your being blinded by the paritcle effects from a mass gal crash.

    If kowlefe is right about it holding at medium, then I'll be happy until i can get a less ghetto GPU
