Ok, I agree with Farepack.

I don't care if it runs on very high, just along as it runs. But not like major f'n lag, something in the middle.

And I'll get http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=37981 in a couple of months.

Do i need a proper HDD or can I use a portable one?.




Will these combinations be good to run IV low GFX?

I answered to those questions, you just didnt read.
You need proper HDD.
DVD-ROM will work.
E8400 is best one out of those CPU's.
go with HD 4830
you will be able to run gta 4 on high settings imo, or medium at least.

When you get GTX 260, you will be able to run gta 4 on max settings, i think.

If your assigning a PC yourself, make sure you go through a lot of videos on youtube, thats an advice from me. Make sure you get thermal paste too, you need to put it on the processor. Well just watch videos on youtube on building an pc.

You can use both but it is not needed unless your burning disks etc.

I couldn't tell weather if one of your optical drives was a dvd-rw drive,if you've got a dvd drive then surely use that one instead of a regular cd-r drive.

If your planning to put the computer together yourself,make sure you touch the metal of your case each time before messing with your components.The static electricity could interfere/possibly fry your components,just to let ya know before hand. That's very true.By meaning you can get the 4830 to perform as the 4850/4870 if you know what your doing,Its all over the net that the 4830 are highly overclock able.I ordered one yesterday  to give it a oc and try it out plus being $30 bucks cheaper,it was a great deal

Where did you hear that? Even if you overclock it, it is not going to be better than the newer cards. It can come close, but overcoming it is no can do. Specially 4830 overclocked can be better than 4870? lmao, i laughed at that.
