1. The video memory really does not mean much when choosing a video card.
2. You are not gonna be able to afford a GTX 260 with a $600 budget
3. Crysis is still setting the bar for PC graphics

1. True, although less than 256MB sucks too
2. Why? A GTX 260 is 140€ here, the new with 216 Shaders 160€
3. No, its Crysis Warhead

[Thug]

Ok ive been using my brother, friend, and aunt's computer. And i think it is time to get my own so what kind do u guys prefer me to get? LoL

Depends what kind of PC you want. If you want a budget-ish gaming PC it will cost you around £500 (including stuff like monitor,mouse..) and if you want to get a budget pc meaning you can only play certain games it would go around £200-300(including monitor and mouse etc.). Everything depends on your budget, and also it would be the best to build it yourself. If you dont know how to, get someone that does know that, someone like your friend etc. Buying computer which is already built is a lot more expensive that building it yourself.

If you want to play games, do NOT buy a laptop. Laptop may be fast, but it always has the weakness in it which is video card, every laptop unless its alienware is crap at gaming.

@FriZerra
Anything less than 4 GB is crap? God, you must be a rich kid.

Strika, Ram isnt really expensive at all.

You can get 4GB for about 30€ here.

Yes. But not everyone can afford to spend the money. 2GB ram is just enough to even play GTA 4, meaning it isnt crap.
And if its something like 3GB DDR3, it is more than good. Meaning anything less than 4GB can be very good.

lol, 4GB of RAM is dirt cheap everywhere so why wouldn't you get 4GB?

@Hitmain: Well i was thinking in US dollars, but also...if you spend that much on the video card...you would have to cheap out somewhere else which would not be worth it.
