chris k Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 AMD CPU + gen 5 Videocard (5670) yuck. Not even close. This is a gaming computer circa 2008. The video card is 2 generations behind - and a 5670 wasnt fast even back then. You will not be able to do XP10 with any if the more advanced rendering options, or anything higher than default object counts due to the old CPU. The Athlon II 600 series is outclassed by orders if magnitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqrt(-1) Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Much better. If you intend to get a GTX 660, be sure it's a 660Ti. The difference is worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
