I dont get it

Graphics card isn't too good for the price you're paying, it's fine for ET but if you wanna run newish games at a nice resolution with nice settings then you'll need something better, I'd reccomend at the least a 3870 if you prefer ATI or 8800GTS/9600GT or so if you prefer Nvidia.

Well, looks good but remember: Aldi is no brand, it can has very good parts at their own but is it good combined together? There are no professionals who built it. + They won't have a good support I think.

My suggestion:
Better spend some more money (around 700€-800€) and buy from a serious PC-store like Saturn etc. from Acer, HP, Fujitsu Siemens and so on and be sure you'll have support ans the system is built by qualified people.

Have fun!

Your graphical card is very neat for the electricity bill, but not for gaming
I would suggest going to the dell website and check out their computers.

It is very risky to buy from a supermarket and i don't trust cheap computers

The Computer is fabricated by Medion.
It is a known computer producer.

The supermarket just buys them and sells them for a nice price, after a week the offer is gone and then u can buy them from Medion themselves (I checked a website) for alot more, with close to the same stats.

My dad has bought 2 or 3 pc's like this so far, and he does check very carefully what he gets for his money, but he hasn't complained about them often so far. It'll be a computer that'll get along for 2 to 3 years.

About the videocard, too bad for oncomming games that require alot, but my main concern is just being able to play ET at this moment and be abel to download, which, it think, will do just fine

Is it possible to build in a new videocard later on?

Thanks for the reply's

i wouldnt trust aldi.
we have some of it in africa, and everything falls apart.

I dont trust it either. I mean, they dont even sell coca cola, only river cola ..

solid price for that kind of pc, kinda getting good quad core processor with a nice graf inside, so it should run without probs any newest games including et.

e: pc is worth of money, tho i would go after some time to sell this card and buy newest of nvidia which u could get for some solid price with selling this one u would get in pc.

lol your buying computer from aldi's

but thats honestly not a bad comp and pretty cheap

go for it

That looks like the one in Kessel-Lo to me you faggot.

Hey dont blame me. I stole it from google pics!

I got some suggestions (pretty much useless)
GET MOAR RAM (8gb would be amazing)

...Vista?

Get XP.

If he wants DirectX 10 he must have a Vista...

And I never had any problems with Vista

same here always whining bout vista but when you have it its okay you have to get used to it but it works fine for me only prob is that it cost more memory damn vista like if you play fifa10 u need 1 gb ram with xp and 2 with vista :S

Nice, you've got FIFA10. How is it?

cool xD but rather play it at ps3

I still have a PS2 and like 60 games ..
Rlly need a 3

Why don't you download games from internet? If you buy games, you are stupid. Game prices aren't really fair for the customers, yo' know?

Fight back.

whatever.
