Hi ryano1989

That should do nicely. The radeon 5770 is not the most powerful one but should certainly suffice, and the rest is excellent. So yes it should and probaly will run SSE very nicely, unless you seriously limit it's capabilities by wrong use of software, because ofcouse, it's not always only up to the specifications of the hardware.   :)


Regards,
Fred

Mad_Fred,

 Thanks a lot I'm going to but this computer and see what happens, I just wanted to know if the 5770 was going to run it smoothly. I dont want to spend all that money and then the game lag.

Hi Ryano,

If you are going to buy this computer new, isn't there a possibility to make a deal with the computer shop, to replace the videocard for a different one?

Don't get me wrong, i have the same videocard and the game runs good with it but perhaps you can get something better for a little more money  :)

Just saying  ;D
