That's a great rig for the asking price. EA usually get a lot of hate, but i think it's awesome that they're trying to get gaming PCs into peoples homes.

That's pretty impressive for a pre-built rig, hopefully the PCGA can build on this idea.

No. No current PC can max Crysis. It was made with future machines in mind. The PC from EA will run the game to a standard which looks amazing however; certainly better than anything on consoles.

You know, EA have been getting tons of crap. But, recently, they've been doing alright. Maybe that's because I'm a Valve fanboy and Valve has praised EA endlessly, but I digress!:P

You'll often find that if you buy all the parts in any given pre-built PC and just put it together yourself (which is very easy), you'll save literally hundreds of dollars. They ask for stupid sums of money just to put a PC together.

Buying the parts off NewEgg and putting it together yourself is no greater a hassle than buying the PC online and waiting for it to be assembled and delivered.

I built a computer at the age of 13 by reading two online guides....... Buying 8-9 items and putting them together isn't rocket science...... The point he's trying to make is that if you did bulid it this computer which could mop the floor with any console graphics wise, have the best library of game, free online and $10-$20 cheaper games could be had for a little less than $600

2GB of RAM is hardly enough to run other games this gen on Vista, let alone Crysis.

Hopefully I'm making the correct assumption that it's coming with Vista.

My older computer with 2 gigs of ram, vista, a slower dual core, and a smaller harddrive along with a card easily half as good as the 9800GT could run the more DEMANDING orginal on medium with a few things on high...... So yes that should run the game all base settings highest EASILY.......

Interesting to see EA investing this much into PC gaming.

And yet everyone were expecting EA to enter console market.

Because those specs will run Crysis to a very high standards and you said "yuck..." to all of the specs? That's most likely what he's talking about.

I guess it's a good price at 700$ but the hardware is already kinda old.

If you have a decent enough video card 2GB of RAM is absolutely fine to run Crysis.

Because the wolfdale processor performs on par with an older conroe 3.0ghz processor and same for the amd x2 series which kills the 360's processor and instead of talking about video card (which you can't bash because its good) you have to talk about harddrive space.....

Most test show no improvement once you get past 2gigs of ram in gaming benchmarks and my copy of vista takes up around 300mb which isn't somthing to cry over so try again

Unless your playing some really hardcore Supreme Commander, you don't need anything above that. And 2 gigs of RAM will handle anything for at least another 2 years.

well some people got music, movies, tv series, etc on their hard drive. A friend of mine filled already some 1.5 TB of HD space up, he kinda doesn't want to bother with CDs and DVDs, so he puts everything on the 3 HDs he got
