Is this beast gaming Rig Crysis VH playable? $1100-1400 spent

Ok well basically I customized it from some online site that builds computers. I also added Windows vista home ED 64 bit, and 600 Watts of power. I dont know alot about computes almost nothing so is this Rig really really good in performance? Basically can it play Crysis on Ultra High? I tried the most economic and cheap way possible do build it. I'm not buying it, but maybe in the future because im focusing on a Mac. What do you guys think?

You would run at ultra high at certain resolutions with this,

Get a cheapo case, modern components don't need as much cooling now, as long as has a couple of case fans, ok

Thats what I was thinking. Its a pretty good deal and with 0 knowledge on how to build a computer, forcing a part inside could break it and a spark, there goes your whol computer

and Elephant Seal dude, what is res?

Laugh at me, I dont know what that isKamekazi_69

Resolution is the number of pixels your monitor is able to display. Well sort of. It's usually represented by the ammount of pixels on a horizontal line x ammount of pixels in a vertical line. So for example, my dad's laptop (the one I'm typing on right now) has a resolution of 1280x1024. One horizontal line of pixels holds 1280 of them, and one vertical line has 1024. If you multiply this number you get the total of pixels your monitor has.

With this mildy well explained, the bigger the resolution you're playing on, the MORE pixels need to be rendered, therefore the graphic card needs to work more in order to get a frame to display on your monitor. So, if you're playing a game at full settings and at 60 frames per second at 1024x768, and then decide to change it to 1280x1024, it's possible your card can't keep up. If you lower your resolution, then your card will be able to pull off bigger frames per second. The bigger the resolution you're playing on, the more the frames will lower.

I hope I've been clear, check this link and this one for more info. How do you see at what resolution your monitor currently is? Well, right-click on your desktop then select properties and select the tab Settings.

PS: Looks like this laptop is running at 1400x1050. Now that's a weird one ._.

Edit: Got the url tag wrong.

9800GX2 is trash. And they even sli'ed it. Haha. I stepped up to a GTX 260 and got away from that stuttering SOB! 60 FPS feels like 30 FPS in Crysis with low resolution during that time. $1400 = Quadcore, GTX 280, High end air coolers, and a quality motherboard, not some weak 5 series board from NVIDIA.

Translation: $3000 prebuilt = $1500 worth of hardwares at best.

One last note. Depending on your resolution we can look out for a suitable pre-built or custom built PC that doesn't cost as much as the ones you posted but that will be able to play the game on VH settings.

For example, if you're playing at, let's say, 1024x768 then we can find a cheaper card (or a cheaper PC with that card) that will get VH settings than the one you'd need for gaming at say, 1680x1050, and therefore you could save some money.
