Guest iScopEzZz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hey everybody, Today I got home from an ordinary day at school to find out that my mom has bought a new computer for me (without even asking for it). I was normally gonne buy a new computer after the summer with my own money but now I wont have to :D Now I was just wondering, if this is good enough to play Battlefield 3 with, cause my PC knowledge aint that great :) Nvidia GeForce ENGT430 Intel Core i5 2x Kingston Valueram Memory 2GB Linkword Power Supply 550W WD Caviar 1TB Samsung Writemaster SH-S223F (Something like that) :P I probably forgot something, but I dont really know what I just posted, so if somebody just could tell me if this is good enough to run Battlefield 3, I would be really happy :) I dont want to max it out, I just want to be able to run it.

Guest SoundOfDeath Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 You might have to spend some money on some new RAM. 2 GB isn't really enough these days. Everything else is good. You'll definitely be able to play BF3, just probably not at max settings. (With more RAM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iScopEzZz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 You might have to spend some money on some new RAM. 2 GB isn't really enough these days. I think you looked past the 2x :) That makes it 4 gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iScopEzZz Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Oh hey, it does, doesn't it. Well thanks for the answer, you're only problem was the RAM so I guess the other things are fine :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MAJ.Kaossilator=US= Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Well it's hard to know for sure... we don't really know the minimums for bf3 yet. Especially for any video card. If I had to guess I'd say you'll be fine with that setup. Only question is what generation i5 is that? Is there a number after the i5 (core i5 2500, core i5 650, etc.).

Guest Navi491 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Are you using windows 7? If so is it the 32bit or 64bit? Also try getting more ram. At least 8gig so that you can run bf3 and other programs like team-speak without lag or stutter. Ram is fairly cheap now a days and extremely easy to install. If you are not running windows 7....your going to need it or vista to run bf3. XP is not supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since it was a gift I'm assuming it was factory made therefor it should be running Windows 7 Home Premium or whatever the default one was. I think 4gb is plenty for now but if have extra slots you could always add more. Like Navi said RAMs pretty cheap you could get another 4gb for 50 or less (just make sure its compatible if your adding and not replacing).

Guest RET.CDR.CrAzY_NuTtA=US= Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 My only concern is the graphics card, that card really doesnt look like much. Edit: Though surprisingly through a little bit of research it seems to be about the same as a 5570. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/asus_engt430/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Windows 7 64 Bit :) I'll check out the RAM and I might add some before BF3 releases :) Thanks for the info everybody !! Greets! PS: I moved this PC to a little less public area of the house, so as soon as I have time to go to the shop, I'll get myself a microphone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
