Are you sure that's right? It's not up to spec with anything else in the comptuer. As for myself: 8==============D Yeah. uhuh. Take it.

in most cases, people will be able to run the minimum. those with duo cores and quad cores and higher end graphics can probably max it out | ||

If your PSU is a quality brand, 650W is enough for you to run a gtx 295, without knowing the brand, you may have little to no headroom at all. | ||

It's one of those Antec Truepower 2.0's I believe. Also, right now I'm running my i7 on its stock cooler. Can you recommend a relatively inexpensive heatsink I could replace it with? | ||

Not really much cheaper for quality heat sinks for LGA 1336 but like half the price of top top ones like coolermasters v8 | ||

Plus, I'm really fanatic when it comes to Task Manager and it's processes, so when I turn on the computer, nothing besides explorer.exe loads. It's just that 1 core processors can't handle the flash applications that easily... | ||
