Hey everyone! First post here, but I've been here many many times. Thanks for all the previous help that you all have given me. Now to the point.
Today I bought a computer from Costco. It is an HP with an AMD A10 5700 (3.4 GHz) with 12GB of RAM (which is probably a waste) and a 2TB Hard Drive (probably a waste too). It also came with a GFX card (Discrete ATI RADEON HD 7660D), but I just noticed it's only 512MB of Dedicated Memory.. Now I paid $700 for this and am getting a $100 rebate in the mail.. Did I get a good/bad deal? I'm looking to play games like Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, and Battlefield 3 with it. How will it fare? What should I change?
My past PC was an Intel Pentium D (3.2 GHz) with 2 GB of Ram, a 1GB GT 520 (CRAP) Video Card, and a 160GB Hard Drive, so I saw this as a HUGE Upgrade.. And that computer ran Diablo 3 beautifully on Medium settings.. and Starcraft 2 on Low/Medium settings, with some stutter.. However it couldn't even load Battlefield 3.
So if you computer gurus could help me out here, I would REALLY appreciate it! Thank you!
