I am building a new lower end gaming PC for my bro. He likes to play halo 1, black and white 2, and maybe some cod4. He will either be having my 20" 1600x1200 lcd, or my dads 19" 1280x1024 lcd. Now heres the deal, with his purchase im getting a 4850 to put in to my PC, which he will not be knowing that i will be taking for myself.
so far i have thought of getting these parts, and going AMD because they seem cheeper and their on board 8000 series onboard graphics seems better than what intel chipsets have to offer (7000 series). my question is are the 8300 on board graphics good enough to play halo and black and white 2 on higher settings confortably? If he plays cod4 it would be ok if he got around medium settings. maybe full res and no AA?
