You're probably lying. But on the off chance you're not, spend $1500 at newegg.com and donate the other 90% to charity.

theres the best cpu money can buy for games, 15 grand with taxes so its perfect for you lol

note: once you click on my link you have to select the "insane" gaming option to get the 13k PC, but that alienware one that is posted below is probably even better

No it won't :) because it has only 2x HD3870X2's and i've seen Crysis on 3x9800GX2 on very high with 8xAA and it barely got 30 frames, it varied from 22 to 34 fps, so 2xHD2870X2, no chance :).

Yeah he said he had even 45 and sometimes 60 fps(i love his episodes with Master Chief and Arbiter, the ones with Chuck Norris and a few others :P), but i saw that on a friends PC, but hell i'm not paying 8K for a PC just to play Crysis ;).

Either you're completely lying about your grandpa (I assume you are), or your the most uncaring person I've seen in a long time. From the sounds of your post and assuming you're telling the truth (you're most likely not) it sounds like you were counting down the days for him to die so you could create a new account on a forum and brag to a bunch of strangers about how much money you made off a death in the family.

This is the kind of story that makes people think games/movies/tv are ruining our society. Let me guess you have a big thugforlife tattoo across your chest right? sigh.

Honestly. Spend 4K even, and you can make a super high end rig with a huge screen and nice speakers.

Then save the other 11k. When you super-pc gets outdated, you can spend another 3-4k and get another brand new kickass computer.

Then when that one gets outdated, repeat. You can get about 4-5 super high end pc's out of that, and last yourself for a decade of ultra-high end goodness. If you buy from falcon northwest on one rig, your paying for a custom paint job really... is that worth 12K?

If it's true... Good way to waste your money.

You know what, contact NASA and ask if you can buy one of their super computers for a few million. Seriously, call them and see what they say.

Also, to make it so they take you seriously, atleast a little, tell them your story about your grandpa. And don't forget to ask them at some point whether the computer will allow you to max out Crysis. Record all of it and put it on Youtube. You'll make millions of electronic dollars.

i don't know. with $15k, all you can buy is a basic rig. you'll need at least $25k to build a decent one. i suggest you stick to the consoles.

So true, I was thinking the same thing as you, but I was not going spend my time typing out my thoughts. I'm glad there are other people out there that sees this problem.

Why must you blame it on games/movies/tv. There is no moral decay... stop putting yourself on such a pedestal. People have always been like this since the beginning of time.

If you spend 15k on a computer than you are getting ripped off. A powerhouse pc should cost you 3k at the most and that's if you splurge on a giant monitor and top of the line speakers. Alienware and Falcon are extremely overpriced and HPs are generally not good gaming pcs. If you're not willing to build your own then shop around some more. If you actually spend 15k on your pc then you're an idiot.
