I have noticed that with a few tweaks to the files in crysis you can achieve almost exactly the same quality of detail as you can in directx 10 with vista - such a rip off :s , as for the RAM, I am quite financially challenged at the moment, so I could give that a miss, I have a massive fan on my CPU, and the case is left open, however I am not sure on the specifics of overclocking, I have an application that can OC for me, but it can only OC up to 20% in the basic mode, I have no idea what I am doing with advanced mode, the 8800gtx is definately out of the question, I have been looking into the 8800gt and the 8800gts (g92) and I am impressed by the 8800gts, there is not much difference in performance, however the gts has a much more impressive cooling system, and can sustain higher clock speeds, if I do choose to OC it. Cheers for the replies

Yeah but what about the 6600s smaller FSB would I notice the difference, and aside from the OC software I got with my mobo, i am a OC noob, and isnt the 8800GT quicker?

Hey I am pretty into my PC gaming, however I do not have money to burn, so I was wondering what upgrades would be money well spent.

I currently have;
Mobo : Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P
RAM : 2 GB at 800mhz
CPU : E6420, CORE 2 DUO @ 2.13ghz, 4MB Cache
VGA : XFX GeForce 7950 GX2 1024mb 1.2ghz
PSU : Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
HDD : some **** 180GB HDD
OS : Windows XP Pro

I want to be able to get good framerates in Crysis at high - very high settings, at the moment I am achieving around 20 - 30 fps on medium, with shaders set at high and reso of 1280 - 1024 I can play COD4 at Max at reso of 1280 - 1024, with AA x2 and AAS x0 and i get a framerate of around 30 - 50 fps, however it is slightly sluggish and it does not feel like fps lag......

I was thinking of getting these items;

GeForce 8800 GT 512mb - I found a few at $430

However I am not sure with which processor to go with,

CORE 2 DUO E6850, 3.0 Ghz, 4MB Cache, 1333FSB - which can be had for $347

OR

CORE 2 QUAD Q6600, 2.4 Ghz, 2x4 MB Cache, 1066FSB - which can be had for $347

I was thinking of the 6850 but your opinions are greatly valued, was also thinking of some more RAM, but I don't think I would notice much of a difference in performance. I am looking for the biggest bang for my buck, because I don't have money to burn. Cheers

How do you up the Voltage, and is the overclocking program easy to use? the mobo i have listed apparently comes with one, and how many fans on average do you think i will need?
