yes this will run anything, I might choose someone different than bestbuy but the good thing is this pc will be very upgradable for the future too.

Bestbuy really is my best place to get this PC. The future shop one has the same but it has a lower end graphics card. Plus i get a bunch of best buy reward points so it makes sense for me to buy it there.... Thanks

its a nice rig but it will run cheaper if u just build it yourself, i suggest looking at some bargain sites for good deals on parts.

ll you would need is just a few good hoursw on a weekend or a late night. With the money u save i would get a nice samsung screen, but if time is an issue then i guess buying one is the best way, regardless its a nice rig and should run the suposid standrad that is crysis

dun do it! go herehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113090

better gpu for the buck...12 gigs of ram is excessive you wont receive any benefit from it, especially at 1066 mhz.. but its cheaper to upgrade the ram rather than GPU.

and thats only if you must.. i highly suggest you build it, its wayy cheaper and you can actually overclock the settings on the motherboard, also - i have an older model of this computer - same mb/ram/processor but only with the radeon 4850 - upgrading this computer is a pain in the ass.. just to warn you.

Its good, but I really recommend building one. It really doesn't take as long as you would think, and it saves a ton of money.

12 gigs of ram......wtf.....why would you ever need that.....just build your own and with a price like that it should at least have a gtx 280, does it even say if its the 260 with 192 or 216 streaming processors?

wasting money on that PC, 600 dollars, and you can pretty much build a pc with the same specs.

Gateway is a solid brand, so good choice.
