EA Crysis Machine. $700.

[QUOTE="SSCyborg"][QUOTE="loco145"][QUOTE="johnny27"][QUOTE="SSCyborg"]

2GB ram? yuck

250gb storage? yuck

and dualcore 2.66GHz? yuck

That's supposed to be a Crysis machine?

Espada12

nope actually its a crysis warhead machine which is suppose to be better optimised then crysis was the TC should change the title to not confuse ppl.

Um, this machine should run the Original Crysis fine too. 2GB of ram and 250bg storage is fine to run Crysis.

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.

Tell that to my PC?

Vista is not the resource hog it used to be.

Run Crysis at minimum?

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

Wow... :roll:

you don't know a thing about todays latest computors

you also know nothing about Crysis or how well it runs

that hardware can run crysis on high easily.

search up facts before posting.

Wow thats a good deal. That would be an ideal PC to buy even if you didn't want to play Warhead.smack_masta

To many flaws. Future upgrades kills this deal.

That case looks like it can't cool for **** and is probably to small to fit anything other than a 9800GT, or 8800GT GPU. The motherboard sounds crap, isn't good for OC'ing cpu's, and probably has minimal socket support. The PSU most likely has just enough power and although the CPU is decent for right now Core 2 Quads are starting to become the better deal. Also OS? Is 2GB of ram enough for Vista? Will it run Warhead at an average of 40FPS on high in DX10 at atleast 1280x1024?

Naw I'm good. Until GeOW2 and Ninja Gaiden 2(99.9% sure they won't) comes out for PC, I manage to fit a GPU that can run Crysis on High, no AA, DX10, at 1360x768 for 45FPS average without dipping below 30, and find an affordable cordless k/m setup made for gaming with excellent range, building a rig just ain't for me.

is that pc better than this one? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3776571&csid=_23 because i am trying to decide which pc to buy and i dont know anything about hardware.

Well... go with the EA PC if you don't care about upgrading.

What do you think? I think is a decent deal. OEM gaming PC don't get much better than this for the price.

loco145

I KNEW EA WAS GOING TO ENTER THE NEXT GEN RACE...I KNEW IT...

lol its a pretty good deal

i want to be able to upgrade at some point. im buying a new pc because the one i have now isnt really upgradable and i want to place some diff games than hl2 which is the highest it can run.RKchaim

Well, seeing as the computer you linked has a better case and a better processor, I would buy the one you linked and simply get a better card. Like a HD 4870 or a GTX 260.

Putting the price over $1k.

That computer is weak as S***! dream431ca

and you have no intelligance of computors.

And you must not enjoy Crysis on very high settings :P

Good day :D

No real sound card is the problem

No offence to anyone who likes realtek but Their audio chips suck

2. Its decent for overclocking and a bios update should give you support to yorkfield, Also socket LGA 775 is being replaced in november so using socket support as a drawback/complain is a VERY bad idea ...... Since everybody right is using 775 or below

3. The powersupply is most likely by ultra which makes pretty decent tier 3 powersupplies and most good quality 430-450w are enough for a 9800GT

4. The E7200 is in the low $100s and it can beat the Q6600 in most games which is almost double the price...... Also it can hit 4ghz on a decent cooler so nope processors fine

5. It comes with an operating system, 2 gigs is plenty, and since it seems to be more optimized than the first than your answer should be defiently yes on the last question

Next time you make a rant about a computer, make sure you know what your talking about

2 Gigs is not enough. Windows Vista alone takes up 1.17 Gigs of system memory. Crysis is a major memory hog. Play Crysis with 2 gigs and be prepared for some choppy gameplay. That 512MB on the GPU will slightly help, but not much.

Most good computers have PS much more than 500 Watts. Overclocking is a bad idea unless you get the right amount of cooling, which means you will need to upgrade your fans and your PS just to keep up with the extra load.

You might as well just build your own PC from scratch. It will save you a lot of money in the end.

2. Its a tier 3 powersupply so its fine. People freak about about watts but effiecienty and amperage on the 12V+ rail are way more important. With high amperage and effiency the ultra powersupply can outperform tier 4-5 600-700w easily so thats not a good point

3. The processor performs around a 3.0ghz core 2 duo conroe which is all you need and even if you did want to overclock increasing it by .5ghz would be easy on the stock cooler. The case already has enough fans. and not to mention the powersupply would surpass the required power for this system by alot so once again that wasn't a good point to make.

I agree, im just disagreeing with people like you who try to bash this computer when theres nothing really wrong with it.....

I agree there is nothing wrong with it, but look at those screenshots of Crysis they are advertising it with. You will not beable to play that game on very high settings smoothly. That is what I'm getting at. For other games, it's great. I prefer to build my own PC's so I can get what I want and at a reasonable price. You are overpaying for that pre-built system. If I were to build that system from scratch, it would be around $400-$500.

This is an insanely good deal. I'd tried twice pricing similiar PC with similiar parts. And tried Cyberpowerpc.com and each time I came up with a pc with similiar parts costing 800 to 1200 bucks. You really can't beat this.

Ive seen people play very high settings direct 9 with a 8800GTS 640mb averaging 25-30fps @720p so I don't see why a system with a better video card can't run the more optimized expansion with the same results..... Also I found all the same exact parts on newegg and with crysis it comes to be about $670 so there's no way you can strach off $200 easily like your making it seem. mastershake575

You gotta know your sources :D

for something prebuilt, that's neat.

i just hope that $700 can actually make Crysis a better game. :|

If someone wants to list EVERY part to make a PC better then this and cheaper please do. All of us at system wars will gladly build our own PC's and play Crysis togather online.caseypayne69

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"]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.organic_machine

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

I'm of your opinion. If EA can shed the last bit of the "evil empire" face that is DRM then they will be one of the best publishers around due to their emphasis on new IPs.

thats a really good machine except that it doesn't come with a monitor, you might find better deals at www.ibuypower.com.

And people not to stop **** about the 2gigs of ram since ram is really cheap nowadays. Im pretty sure 2 gigs goes for about 50 bux or so.

This is an excellent machine but instead of the core 2 duo EA could have installed the quad since the price difference isn't that significant. But then again I heard the performance difference between core 2 duo and the quad isn't that great so I guess the core 2 duo is good enough.
