Video-Cards and Processor Requirements

    Hey Forum :D

    So i was just wondering, what type of Video-Card and Processors do u use?
    For 100%-no lag and at Low to Medium detail.

    And yeah, i know the system requirements i's written at the back of the game-cd cover.
    And i think i'm going for the recommended system requirements which is ATI Radeon HD 3870
    with a 2.4 GHz Processor(I don' kow much about processors)

    And money??? Yes i got it all, i get alot of cash from my grandparents and from the rest of my family.

    But straight to the point...
    Is my computer capable of installing those kind of videocards and processors?
    And which should i buy?

    I have been thinking of buying a new pc, gaming pc, Lamborghini or Alienware.
    And it has to be a portable computer, or else i can't bring it to my friend's house and L.A.N and stuff.

    My pc now is a LG E500 with only 2600 HD Video-Card
    it's only capable of running 1v1 matches with few units and the lowest possible graphics.
    Which kinda sux, because i want to use my microing-skills and be able to play DotA without extreme lag.

    So my questions are
    - Should i buy a new computer
    - Which graphic cards and processor should i buy
    - What is the pc-parts capable of without lag
    - Should i switch from portable pc to home pc

    Hi Kebab. Firstly, whether you should switch from a laptop to a desktop is entirely up to you and what you would need the computer for - we can't help you decide in that. As for the rest of your questions, there are multiple threads dealing with the topic with links to shops and other useful sites in the computers and tech area, and trust me, they're very good sources of information as they helped me immensely in buying a new computer for SC2 not 3 months ago. This, along with the thread being in the wrong section is the reason I'm locking this.

    Use the search function and you'll find your answers soon enough. And only if you really really can't should you post in one of the existing threads. This is in an attempt to keep the site clean and orderly, and I hope you undertstand.
