I can run Crysis on my $650 PREBUILT PC

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8602407&type=product&id=1192232280889

Just got this new computer for a hell of a deal. It can run Crysis on low/medium at around 20 fps at 720p. Here is a screencap:

Im going to get a 9600 GT soon (within a month), so that brings my cost to $850 to run Crysis on high settings

That's cool. I built a system for $600 (E8400, P35-DS3L, EVGA 8800GT), and I can run Crysis on High at 1440x900, my monitor's native resolution. So what are your specs?nforce-

haha kind of slapped me in the face there lol

and what do you mean by specs (srry im new to pc gaming)

Actually, that wasn't my intention. You got a pretty sweet deal considering you paid $650 and its pre-built. The only thing I would dislike about that system is not being able to overclock, but since you're new to PC gaming, that probably doesn't matter to you anyway. What you need to do is invest in a high-end graphics card.

what graphics card do you reccomend...i was thinking 9600 gt...but should i go with something else? I dont want to spend too much either

OP: I gather from your signature that you're running Vista? If you revert to XP you'll certainly get more FPS. And besides, it's proven that Vista is the child of Satan. :DShotGunBunny

Its actually not too bad lol. Plus every game company is going to move to Vista eventually, so i might as well keep it

That was a pretty nice deal, considering that is a $250 processor. I would get an 8800 gt. You can find them for under $200 now.el_carl

I build my system for $500 it runs crysis all high on 1280X1024 resolution with about 25FPSferrari2001

A 8600gt can't run crysis all high at 1280x1024 with 25fps. Prove it.

not in a million years.. video card is way to low, and depends on what kinda ram too, cuz their pretty vague, but im guessin its low level ram, so youd need better most likely.. cpu seems alright though, decent enough

i ran crysis on med-high, with 8800gtx/2gb top quality OCZ ram, 5200+ X2 AMD.. etc, and i got 40fps-50fps, so that will give u some idea as to what a whore crysis is, its needs more spec's than any other game ive played sofar

but with your rig, probably wouldnt even beable to paly on lowest setting, that vid card is like 30$ , and ram is probably bout the same, just not a gaming rig, thats all

btw, does it seem weird to anyone else that place would throw a quad core cpu in with a cheap gpu? seems way unbalancedriptoe222

oh it can if you get a config file for it!

dude...i already said i can run it

the screencap was MY COMPUTER running it, it got somewhere around 20-25 fps

the computer has a 300W power supply, read the reviews, a user mentions it. another user put a 8800 gt OC in it with the stock psu, i wonder how its perforuming?

two users also put in 8800 cards in the pc but also upgraded the psu.

Thats complete BS!

Run FRAPS and and take a screenshot with the FPS in the corner if its true!

I've heard a few different things from different sources, but the most reliable minimum I could find was 350 watts and 24-28A on the +12v rail. That being said, another factor is whether the PSU is generic or not. If generic, I would definitely upgrade before risking an 8800 GT. There's really no excuse not to: you can get an MSI 450w PSU for less than $50.

will that power supply be future proof...so in the future if i want to upgrade my GPU again, will it be enough?

i paid $786 for my comp and i can run crysis on high with some on medium with like 30-40fps on 12X7 tho

If you want future proof then you should talk about something higher 550~600 maybe. At that wattage, i dont bother my self looking to something else other than Corsair HX series. You might pay few bucks more than other good brands but Corsair still worth it for sureSearchMaster

the HX series is good but the corsair vx550w is abit better the hx is just modular at that

oh wow. i didn't believe you until i read the specs. acer's are good.

but listen to these guys, get an 8800 not a 9600

thats cuz i bought my parts in july when everything was more expensive the cpu and ram tho were on a deal for 193 bucks :D

and i bought the 3850 from christmas money so i couldnt spend more but its cool maxes every game i have and it will last me quite a while until the 4*** series come out

nice rig you got there tho
