It would be more helpful to have exact specifications, some of those don't even mention if they have a graphics card or not and those that do are extremely vague.

Thats all the flyer lists. The 949 dollar computer in the second picture is a "gaming" computer so that should be able to do it right?

Video card specs would be good, but I maxed Oblivion on a 4 year old PC with 2 gigs of ram and a single core 3500 with a $30 Ati Radeon 4550. You should be good.

What about the first 799 computer in the 1st pic? I thinking since my computer can pretty much run Oblivion decently on medium, this computer should at least be able to run it on high.

Honestly, I would recommend just building a gaming computer. It saves money, you will understand your computer more.

Not a option at this moment. Right now I'm have the choice of the computers in the pictures.

all games will be gpu intensive from now on,so make sure you buy the best graphics card in your price range.

pics tell me you can buy a mid to top range computer, if you do a self build.

If you are serious about a new build im sure i can help.

dont buy i3 or 5 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,it will be outdated in a few months

sandybridge will be out soon.

wait until then.

the only pc game i care about is oblivion, fallout, and the sims 3. if any of these computers can run any of those games at max i would like to know.

» Thu Jan 14, 2010 8:26 am

My friend , im sure they can at that price now.

But,,,,,,,,,would you not want a rig that can do the same at half the price?

» Thu Jan 14, 2010 9:22 am

it is technically impossible for me to build a pc at this point in time. if i could do that i wouldn't have come here posting pc pics. i just wanted to know if these pcs can run oblivion on max or at least high settings.

These facebook friends told you what to buy ?

This is that PC:

That price and all you get is a Radeon 5570? Sure, it'll probably run the game well....but this PC is overpriced. I wouldn't bother.

That is this one:

Same video card. Not as badly priced, but overpriced too nonetheless.

This is what you could get with your budget:

Well then yes, go a head and waste about ￡700,,,,,,,,,,,,,cause they will run oblivion and fallout3 ,,,,,,,,,,,,but so will my ps3 for ￡300.

» Thu Jan 14, 2010 10:25 am

i don't have facebook. i don't care about pc gaming, i just want to play my oblivion, fallout, and sims 3 on high settings. i'm a console gamer mainly so i do not care if my pc can't run newer games. i will get it on my ps3 which i know can run the game on high settings.

I have a PS3 and both games on PS3. I bought them used on PC for 5 dollars each and I want to see my favorite game with the best graphics possible. I also need a new computer and I don't want to pay 400-500 for a piece of [censored] when I can get a better computer for not much more.

@ tig,,,,thought it was a computer question not a console one.

Eh, my fault...people are posting too fast here that I'm not getting the posts in between. Apologies for the misinterpretation...will remove that post.

No problem my friend, i've done the same before, so i'de never question motives, just glasses.

And i need new reading ones.

Now that explains a lot. Just noticed the Canada tags in your profile...bah. Prices are a bit higher there. Still though, those previous PCs are still overpriced. Take a look:
