Hello one and all,
(I just recently joined the Steam forums so I apologize in advance if this is under the wrong discussion topic and/or not relevant in any way.)
I have a few questions about my current hardware and what it can run. I unfortunately know next to nothing about specs or hardware, but I do know that my PC is far from "top of the line" and can't handle TOO much when it comes to certain games. I'd like to find a decent zombie game to play such as Dead Island or State of Decay or something along those lines, so I guess I need some suggestions based on my current hardware. I have tried running Dead Island (albeit a very heavily modded version for the sake of performance) and it didn't end very well if that helps at all. Here is a list I copied from the system information Steam provided for me. If you have any suggestions or noticed that I missed anything, please let me know. Like I said, I'm very new to all of this so bear with me if you can. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you.
