Was just curious what some of you might think.. Think this rig will run PS2 on high pretty well or negative? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2550764&tab=7&SRCCODE=WEBLET03SHIP&cm_mmc=Email-_-WebletMain-_-WEBLET03SHIP-_-03ship

From looking at the specs, I would say yes it will run planetside 2 pretty damn well! :)

It'll certainly run PS2, but the 3770k and 7850 is an odd combination.

What do you mean? I was just hoping to run things on high and hopefully be fine in some big battles i mean i know there will be lag regardless but ya.. I mostly got it for GW2 but since i saw the beta coming soon im pretty stoked for it now

Well the 3770 is the high end of high end CPUs, whereas the 7850 is a mid-range GPU. Gaming doesn't really take advantage of what the 3770 has over the 3570, plus games tend to be more GPU-dependant. I'd expect a pre-built "gaming" rig to have a worse CPU and a better GPU.

It's kind of like having a slightly sporty road-car and then putting a jet engine inside it. It's still a good rig, though.

Gotcha well I guess if the cards don't work out to well could always get better ones. Is Nvidia cards better than radeon cards never really got that because I've heard different stories

in the case of PS2 it is more CPU dependant. This would be a great rig for ps2
