Yep, that's the one. With the money you are putting into this computer, that should be good enough...

Doesn't need any seperate power... Which makes it nice. Takes 1 PCIe 2.0 Slot... I think. And yeaa... If you have enough money to put into a better graphics, you can try out the EVGA 9800GT 512MB. It is $120... Read good reviews, but for me, I am still searching for a good one to satisfy me.

It should be able to allow you to play most games... I am pretty sure it will run CoD4... Cause my Radeon X600 does that xD

you should just get a 4830 then since its the same performance except its $25 cheaper

Updated my first post and Decided to go over $600 since by the time by the time my parents will have the money to pay for half I will have more money and Piracy on computers are basically built in so I won't have to buy games.

a 430w PSU wont power the 4870
it needs about 500w and 2 PCI-e connectors

you wont to avoid using those adapters where ever possible because they tend to put all the load on the same rail and blow the PSU

Alright I'll pick a different PSU but what do you mean by adapters. Changed this one should be fine right a lot of people said yes in the reviews http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817702010

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high
    like come on 60 for a game thats a decade old??)

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
