if you know of a computer thats a better deal plz tell me

It looks pretty good, and covers most of the specs required. I'm not sure about whether it would cover this requirement: Enhanced for: DirectX 10, 64-bit processors, multi-core.

Just for the record - what is aoc?

I take it this is a shop bought computer? Have you thought of building your own and buying all the components for it? Just a thought.

I personally don't like McAfee, we use it at work and I don't really trust it. It seems a lot of new computers come with it preloaded for 60 days free trial. I recently bought a new laptop and it had McAfee on it. I changed to Avast which has done a great job so far, and when my licence key on my desktop runs out I will upgrade to Nod32 which is awesome.

I take it your primary use for your computer is gaming?

yep. Processors 64-bit, quad core, and the video supports DX10 too.

I believe AOC is "age of Conan".

I doubt it means "Age of conquerors"- that game wouldn't require that much horsepower

[azali]

yes it is age of conan and i would use it mostly for gaming and a little school work. but do u think this computer would be able to play most games well and is the computer a good deal. i would not no how to build a computer. my internet provider has SecurityCenter with anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall

[joevh09]

I would shay this pc should be able to handle most games on med to high settings

[athos110]

it looks like if its primary use is gaming, your set, AoC is a fun game as well, try getting malwarebytes for security, just a suggestion, i use it and it works well.
