please note that i have copy and paste the specs through their own profile.

the games i wish to play on my systems are, crysis 2 (upcoming) Battlefield 3 (upcoming), Medal of Honour (upcoming) black ops (upcoming)

Bad company 2, modern warfare 2 and most of the FPS gaming that is soon to be out

my questions is, will any of the 2 desktops able to play this games at MAX settings?

which systems/desktops do you all recommend?

Thanks a lot for ur help.

Of those 2 the Dell is better for gaming, although its VERY expensive.

I reckon you can build the same PC but for a fraction of the $2000.

The Dell desktop is superior for gaming.

For that price you would be able to build a computer with double the power if you were willing to get your own parts.

ADD: You should be fine with most of the games listed on at least 1680x1050; 1920x1080 may cause some lag. I'm not sure about Crysis 2. It's "destined" to become the next graphics king, yet it claims to be less demanding than the original Crysis. A single 5870 with Crysis maxed out(third party optimised configs) on 1920x1080 cannot get a constant fps of 30.

thanks for the reply. in that case, i rather stick to my xbox 360 for gaming.

it looks like getting a pc for games are such a chore =)

hi all, sorry to reply late. was so busy at work, well, i have another desktops specs.

this is what the dell customer services intro to me.

is this specs better then the 2 previous desktop?

will i be able to play bad company 2/ modern warfare 2/ medal of honor and black ops in max settings?

please advise.

Like others have already suggested, you would be better off building a pc by yourself. You could easily save upto $750 for the same specs. However if you intend to max out crysis 2 I suggest u wait till the game is released. That way you would know how many high end cards to buy !

could you guys just reply to my question? i do not wish to save $$$ dumbass. i have lots of $$. i jus wan to get a ready made desktop to play all the faking games.Executor_84

I'll tell you if you give me some $$$$ ??
