Yeah so, I have a $900 budget for my new PC (I only need a computer tower, no monitor etc.), however Im willing to go over if its impossible to meet my requirements at my price. Here are my requirements: It can play Crysis with all settings on high, at a STEADY frame-rate, and please dont reccomend the Crytek PC to me, as I've heard numerous complaints that it doesnt play at a steady frame-rate, and even if it does... Im wondering if you guys can think of something even better at its price. Also, I dont want each persons isolated opinion, I really want you guys to explain why you use a different part in your reccomendation, dont just say a completely different part list than every other poster, without giving a reason (explain why their parts are lacking/ yours are better for the use, it can be brief though, I dont want to be too picky) Again steady frame-rate is key. Also, this might be a stupid request, as PC building confuses me, but I would also like it to have enough space to be able to install multiple games (Im thinking its stupid, because Im not sure if PCs typically are able to do this). Thanks in advance, and again $900 is just the general area, dont take it too seriously.
most people in this forum are going to tell you to build one because companies like dell, alienware and others charge way more for their gaming pc's. the best deal is to buy the parts you want and build it yourself
Yeah, I planned on building one myself. Anyway, are you sure that meets my requirements? Im just a bit skeptical, as you reccomended a moniter also and the one Crytek reccomended (And I have issues with) is $900 without anything but a computer, if you didnt include the moniter in the budget, then sorry about that. Any other opinions/suggestions?
I guess I don't understand, do you just need parts for a computer tower or a computer tower plus a monitor for $900? If its just a tower than $900 can get you a pretty sweet gaming rig. If you need a monitor in that $900 budget than your part choices become much more limited.
I will have to disagree with you there. First off you will pay more buying from there instead of just building your own, and secondly the customer service and build quality of ibuypower or cyberpower PCs are very bad.
Yeah I looked at some of the parts on newegg, and the reviews are pretty good... as of now thats my favorite build lol. Anyone else want give an opinion? Or at least offer positive reinforcement on General_X's build?

Looks good but I'd swap the PSU for this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004 and get XP home and save $40. I completely agree with this and the PSU change. Corsair will be overall better quality. If you're going to OC that E8400, that Gigabyte DS3L will be fine, but if you're one that wants to push it a little, the DFI Blood Iron might be better.
