[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 409615, member: 84335"] Im not saying it wont play br but it might be worth going into with the idea that you may need to put some money into the graphics if they're not up to your expectations. My reading of these chipsets is that they really need a Phenom to get up and pumping to play 1080. Cant give you a price/value indication as Im in Australia and the taxes over here are a lot lighter than where you are so we generally pay less for computer hardware.
