My friend is looking at a Dell i7 2600 processor but I'm wondering if that is overkill for him since he does not play 3-D shoot em ups but just standard adventure games. Thanks. It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

What amoumt of MB should the video card have? The majority of today's newer cards are equipped with at least 1 GB of ram, which is well above the suggested requirements for most Adventure games. Get the best you can afford, and avoid the entry level models.

Thanks for your help. I'll tell him that one will work fine for him. It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.
