is this PC capable of playing system killers games i.e. Crysis?

Greetings ppl and thank you for helping me out overhere!

I have extra cash and I want to spend it on a super gaming comp.

here are the specs:

proc: Quadcore 2.8

MotherBoard: EVGA 790i SLI

HD: 500 G, 32 MB cach

VGA: EVGA GeForce GTX 280

Power Supply: 850 Watt (is this enough or do I need more power?)

My questions are:

Q1=Is this pc capable of playing super games like Crysis in full specs with no problems at all?

Q2=Can I use HDMI connection between this comp and my LCD?

Q3=My old pc has Geforce 8800 GXT, can I add it along side EVGA GeForce GTX 280 using SLI-2 function?

Q4=How long do you thing this pc will last in future till I need to upgrade?

I do appreciate your help and time reading this thread and giving me some valuable help^^

Hmm, interesting "Quadcore 2.8" never heard of that cpu. :P

Try to give complete specs next time sometimes some parts can be incompatible when listing them.

Anyway to the answers.

1: Yes, it should be able to run it on very high settings no problems :)

2: Yes, you only need a DVI to HDMI adapter

3. No, SLI is only compatable with a similar card (GTX280 with GTX280 // 8800GTX with 8800GTX). You can use up to 3 GTX280 in Tri SLI with the 790i motherboard

4. Depends, how long you like to upgrade, it can be 1-5 years.

Good luck! :D

aaah thank you very much for the informative...erm info =P

actually iam not a guru in names so I forgot the exact name of the Proc. but my friend is a guru so no problems in any compatabilities issues^^

/cheers^^

If you OC that processor, you'll have no problem stomping Crysis to the ground. It looks like you have a Q9550.Elann2008

yes it is Q9550^^ thx :)

Not without the flux capacitor and 1.21 Jijowatts of power.titanium_basic

then I need to inc my Power Supply, appreciate your tip, thx

Seeing as how you have that beefy rig and one day you might throw in another GTX280, I'll play it safe with a 1000w PSU. I highly recommend a Corsair HX 1000w PSU. It's modular too.
