Just... dont buy from PC world... please... give me five seconds to find you a better PC for your money. (it will run SuC2)

EDIT: Just ran a search for the graphics card with that PC, you can buy it for £50 >.< (three more seconds ;P)

Normally I would just link you to SC2's specs and have you compare them, but for a blatant answer to your question.

Yes, you will be able to play it. Just don't ramp up the settings TOO high... Ya know... ATI cards and all that junk.

The PRO version of this:

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/pc/range/isysex.html (£40 above budget, but can play crysis easily )

Or the PRO version of this:

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/pc/range/realm.html (puts you £81 under budget)


Ok just a quick sum up:

PC world CPU: 3.0ghz X2 = 6GHZ
ISYS: 2.5ghz X4 = 10GHZ
Realm: 2.8ghz X4 = 11.2GHZ

PC world GPU (Just done on price here, sorry but with graphics its generally more for your money)
PC world : £50-£60
Isys: £90
Realm: £90

Pc world RAM: 4gb
Isys: 4GB
Realm: 4GB

So yeah...

4650 isn't a great card tbh, I'm a massive hardware junkie. The 9600 is superior and that's a few years old now.

However. PC world's PC aren't really that great, even the gaming one screw 2 shoddy cards together and pray for the best. What you need in your PC to run SupCom 2 is a good processor, it deals with Physics and AI. That's pretty much all SupCom 2 is, Physics for the bullets, AI to point the bullets at you. A quad core will be better in this case than a dual core. Not often you get to say that. That 4650 won't let you max out your settings but that 9600GT with a bit of an OC might just do it.

What you're looking for is: Quad core, 4Gb RAM, decent GPU. It's hard to get a full PC for £500 that can game, especially store bought. What I suggest you do is buy a store bought PC from PC world, a quad core with 3-4Gb RAM and whack in a shiny new GPU. PC World's PC's will support a GPU on their PSU's so you've got nothing to worry about.

Buy a Quad core PC, whack in an ATi-HD4890 and you'll eat through SupCom 2 no problems
