Hey forum.

I need help building a new gaming rig.I don't want to spend much cash because i don't have much but i'm not trying to run the crysis or similer games on the highest settings anyway.I want to be able to play all the games from valve and blizzard at medium to high settings.So could anyone recommend some good cheap parts.I'm willing to spend up to €750.Thanks for any help in advance.

No, I think you need a GTX 295 to play Diablo 2 and Half-Life 1.

Name some websites you want to buy from or tell us which country you live in, then people might be able to spec you up some parts :)

No you can't max out Crysis at that res, not even at high with that graphics card. I can only bump the res to 1680x1050 on Very High with no AA until it starts lagging. And my CPU currently works at 3.7, and Crysis uses two cores so they would be even faster than your CPU.

Since I had to put out the parts of my rig from my sig, my card is 4890. Reverting to old sig soon...

Do you already have a monitor? If so, what resolution and inputs does it support?

i7 920s and a good upper end GTX275, GTX280, GTX285 will let you play crysis, but at top settings you'll only see 30 fps. The human eye can 'see' 60 fps. So the game would be skippy if you have a keen eye for such.

If you have the money to put down, the GTX295 or 2 x GTX275 SLi will boost these numbers to around 60 fps with minimal to no AA.

well, i can tell you it does, belive it or not...but i think it was more like 30fps not 40fps...anyway i dont have the game installed but otherwise id post a pic.

i should also specify, i play maxed out but without aa..anyway at high res AA doesnt do enough for the fps drops
