This is what that computer has for graphics: Integrated Intel HD Graphics, this will NOT run BF4 so if you decide to buy this you will need to purchase a decent graphics card which will add another +100 dollars.

You could find better computers for that price out there.. For example, check out Dell's Outlet section.

Here are 2 I just found that will run BF4 decently on medium settings. Only drawback is no monitor is included but you could use your existing screen or buy one for about $150 or so.

Here are the BF4 system requirements (NOT OFFICIAL).

The Battlefield 4 system requirements will be similar to those of BF3, since the game is built on a similar game engine. While the Frostbite 3 engine features numerous visual improvements, it also sports performance enhancements. This means that gamers with a wide range of PC hardware will be able to run the game. As any modern game, the Battlefield 4 system requirements will take advantage of powerful hardware to deliver great visuals at playable frame rates.

Battlefield 4 system requirements

The minimum PC system requirements for Battlefield 4 are expected to be:

• Dual core CPU (Intel Core i5 or AMD “Bulldozer”).
  At least 2 GB main system memory
  Graphics card with at least 256 MB of VRAM and support for DirectX 10
  20+ GB of harddrive space
  Windows Vista

Recommended system requirements

• The recommended PC system requirements for optimal visual quality and frame rates:
  Quad core CPU (Intel Core i5 or i7) at 3 Ghz
  4 GB memory (8 GB for 64-bit operating systems)
  A modern DX11 graphics card with 1 GB of video memory, GeForce 600 series or Radeon 7000 series
  Windows 7 64-bit operating system (Windows 8 is supported as well)
  20+ GB of free harddrive space

Battlefield 4 is slightly optimized for AMD hardware, since the game also runs on next gen consoles, which are powered by AMD CPUs and GPUs. This means that gamers with AMD PC graphics cards might see a slight advantage. Both Nvidia and AMD offer Battlefield 4 optimized PC drivers.

cause the 620 is gonna be crappy imo...

See thats the thing i do not have a credit card or Paypal i have to go to a store and pick it up i have to buy in cash

Hey Spec i was browsing through more comps would this work ? http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Black-Pavi ... n/25026228

That setup will run BF3 but it will run it at low settings and you'll be getting max 25-30 fps. I would imagine that it would have poor performance when you try to play BF4.

Paypal is free, you can link it to your banking account. Unless you don't use a bank either lol. All cash business huh? haha Hope you can get it figured out, the more the merrier.

Yeah all cash im thinking of just buying the first 1 i linked and then going to the used computer shop and pick up a graphics card that will last me 3-4 years of gameplay lol

yeah...gotta stay away from integrated.

I would see if, where ever you get it, they could upgrade those computers to Windows 7.

I wonder if the Dell outlet would accept a money order. You could run to the bank with cash, get the money order made out to Dell and by one of the ones Spec mentioned.

Or go get you one of those prepaid/reloadable Visa gift cards. Use that as a credit card.

this for sure.

you don't want to get something that you cannot upgrade if you need to. I'm running a ATI 6950 vid card on a i7 processor and have a slot for another card if i want to......and I ran BF3 on high settings, recorded video, and still ran high numbers of FPS.
oddjob ran a pair of those cards and got stupid numbers
