The system looks good to play the games you have listed. If you can afford it, I would go with the x4 955. I have owned the x2 550 and it did fine but just seems to struggle a bit with some applications and games,the x4 955 made my games and other programs run a lot smoother plus it has two extra cores.

oh yeah, i changed the processes to the x4 955 and changed the case to a cheaper one and it evens out as a £8 difference.
so yeah :grinthumb

The graphics card is weak IMO.

 

[razaguy]

new graphics card

ok the graphics card that i have listed is a 3D one and im not interested in that so ive changed it to the
"1GB ATI RADEON™ HD5450 - DVI,HDMI,VGA - DX® 11"
so can some one tell me if thats any better than the other one i listed above and tell me if its powerful enough to play games like dawn of war II, team fortress II and WOW.
thank you

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

Even worse.
They both suck IMO.

so what your telling me that they won't be able to play any of the games that i have listed?

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

No I said they're bad, with the 5450 being the weaker of the two..
I'm sure they'll start up the games just fine; I'm also sure that you'll get poor frame rates.
Those cards are not very good for gaming, you should switch around your configuration for a better card.

An Nvidia GTX 460 or even an AMD 5770 would do you well. Also, who make is your power supply?

 

[Rage_3K_Moiz]

The GTS 450 should be able to handle all three games on relatively High settings, provided you're gaming at resolutions under 1600x1200. Also, WoW performs better with a quad-core CPU, so get one if possible.

You don't need to get a GTX 460 for those games unless you're going to game at or beyond that resolution I specified above.

 

[razaguy]

who make is your power supply?

the power supply is 450W Quiet 80 PLUS Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan

I would suggest a GTX 550 Ti/ GTX 550 Ti TOP. That's what I am thinking about buying.

@ hellokitty[hk] GTS 450 is not that bad though. It is better than the Radeon 5770 or even 5800 series when super overclocked

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

But I don't like it's name .

 

[Atham]

You don't like the name? WTF?
