what about black ops?
other than the horrid graphics that havent been updated since MW1, the terrible physics that also havent been updated since MW1, the repetitive gameplay thats barely changed since MW1, and the pathetic online community who think sitting in a corner aiming at a doorway for two hours is a fun time?
*flame shield on*

to be fair though, it's one of the few console games in full 1080p. (and I'm a fan, mw3 soon, yay

).

OP, if you have a £100 budget, get a 2nd hand 360. It'll be better than any PC that you can buy for the money. If you can source the odd part that is better than the console equivalent, the rest of the PC will probably let it down.

back on topic, your not going to get anything that can beat the PS3/xbox 360 for under £100 unless you get some crazy second hand deals so either save up some more money or get the PS3/xbox 360

Good luck, really I built my first PC for £170 last year with a few borrowed components such as GPU, DVD drive + Windows XP

thanks again; are you sure that psu is okay?

No point in that really i mean may as well pay another £100 for the £300 config since it had GTX460 and sandy bridge and upgrade potential...

If its not a blank unbranded one, it probably can be trusted to do the job.

no idea what to do :confused:

and no not trolling if i was then i would've said £50 and that includes OS

Well the £100 pc is still certainly acheiveable albeit through second hand items through other places as can be seen here, nto sure how this is going to go down posting something from another sites forum on here

You'd struggle to get a GPU that runs BF3 on medium for £100 nevermind anything else.

stulid · 25 Aug 2011 at 00:25

Are your harddrives and dvd drive IDE or SATA?

Your telling me a GTX460 wont even run it on medium?

Without a release copy of the game being tested no one knows.

Bwaaa · 25 Aug 2011 at 00:30

Even if a 460 will run it on medium, thats still on par with consoles so its a pointless excercise.

i can tell you that a GTX 460 will run it on high at 720p (going by the alpha). as for 1080p im not sure
