Did you buy it off the shelf from Cyberpower and is it handling COD at maximum settings? Thanks

Yes...I bought my Rig 'off the shelf' from Cyberpower, sort of...Cyberpower offers an extensive variety of options for every component, so one can 'customize' as one likes, and in accordance with one's pocketbook. It turns out that I did
not have to buy a Soundcard, I just needed to correctly Set up the Realtek HD Audio Manager software. [My MOBO, in fact,
did have the Green, Black, and Gold output connectors/cables to my Z506 speaker system]. I can't recall what I was originally doing wrong...but after a lot of troubleshooting and experimenting, I finally got it to work. It should not have been difficult, at all..it was my mistakes that were causing my problem.
From all my research, it appears that the consensus these days is that a Soundcard is
not necessary for Gaming...maybe for other sophisticated Music-making, whatever, a Soundcard
is necessary.
Yes, I run
COD (and
Rise of Flight) at
maximum settings with no problems whatsoever at 1920X1080. I don't know how to determine if my 16GB of RAM or my 4GB GTX680 graphics card is most key to this performance.
BTW, Cyberpower Tech support has been Excellent. Very helpful in
all manner of PC software and hardware questions, beyond simply those specifically Cyberpower component related.
