is this pc good enough?

well iam going to get an pc with these specs can anyone tell me will it be good enough to run crysis

650i ultra motherboard

2gb kingston 667mhz ddr2 ram

an antec case with 500w smps

bfg oc2 640mbGDDR3 8800gts

viewsonic 19" lcd tft

logitech x530 5.1 speakers

e6420 2.13 ghz core2duo

:question:

NOBODY KNOWSSSSS!!!!! Crysis isnt out yet, and there is no way for us to determine how well it will run on any machine. Anyway. Your GTS is top of the line and the rest of the pc looks very good. You shouldnt have any trouble running games for a whileMiguel16

Yep, True

1. It's a "HARDWARE" question, belongs in the hardware forum!

2. The game isn't out yet, so it's all mere speculation.

3. This same question has already been asked too many times.

If you're gonna go for intel you gotta go for the Extreme Editions.whgresiak

Or learn to overclock yourself. Extreme editions cost like 500$+. I dont know where you got a Dual-Core CPU as "lacking" in requirements for a FPS. Theres only like 3 games out that have Recommended as "Dual-Core." I dont know any that have Minimum req. as dual-core. Nvidia claims that the 8000 series has "Quantum Effects" which takes alot stress off the CPU when rendering physics. So from where Im standing, the CPU is well above what he needs when combined with the rest of his rig.

I upgraded from 533mhz ram (2gigs) to 667mhz (3gigs) and I barely noticed any preformance boost. Right now its OC to 707mhz because I OC my FSB (only way to OC an intel CPU). I seriously doubt that you need high preformance RAM. Doesnt cost that much more than most RAM, but I dont see what improvement it would give you. About the only thing I know about RAM is that its actualy speed is about 1/2 what they say. So 667mhz runs at 333mhz which is far above the FSB speed of a Core 2 Duo of 266mhz (Intel Processors are Quad Pumped). So anything more would only improve load times not gameplay.Swiftstrike5

About the only thing I noticed was decreased time spent opening programs like firefox and the ability to alt-tab out of games without reloading desktop. The cost difference doesnt seem to be much on newegg.com so if he spends 50$ more he wont have to worry. Another point would be that they dont actualy post memory speed req. on the back of most games so =/Swiftstrike5

I dont feel like reading this but if you want to read up on memory vs CPU speeds then this looks like an interesting page.

Man, why do all these threads appear? I have a feeling a lot of these guys just do it to piss us off, cause they don't even reply back in this thread to even appologize for giving another one of these threads to us, that we have seen countless of times before.

Amen to that!
