I'm not so good with computer and my cousin isn't online to tell me if it is or not. Can it play newer games like maybe crysis 2 or something like that. It doesn't need to be full settings, just play able. The guy at the store said it could play crysis 2 but not full settings, but someone in the comments said it would play older games. Please help.

Yeah if anything i think that that computer would be a bit overkill loll but yes it will play new games

[tripp]

Okay who ever said this computer couldn't handle top f the line graphics are unexperienced a computer like this with these stats will handle a game like that no problem i am currently on a 2006 macbook 2GB ram 160 GB hard drive and 2.0 intel core 2 duo process or and I'm playing world of warcraft with no lags now with the computer specs of that, you will be able to play almost any game you would like including crysis 2

The rest of the build is fine except for the video card, if you just change the video card to something newer you could definitely run games like crysis 2 no problem.

It could play that game at low settings. And yes older games.

I would buy a new card, a HD 4870 goes for a cheap price, and would handle Crysis easily.

I can play them yes, just not at the highest settings for many of them. The video card isn't the best, though the rest is good.

yes it can at low res.
