with 5,000 dollars you could of gotten a 8800 Ultra, quad core, and the works.

Last time I checked, a 8800GTS 640 can max out Crysis, oh and this is a joke topic.

This is how I game:

I have a PS3, and a PC.

My PS3 is taking up dust, and I'm going to sell it.

I will not get a Wii or 360, seeing as how Microsoft is money hungry like always, some of the 360's titles may get ported to the PC, mass effect may get ported, Gears..well you all know.

About the wii, I lost hope in nintendo. There strategies is solely to beat the dead horse, and I'm getting sick of it, so I'm going to pass on my two (used to be) favorite series, Metroid and LoZ.

[QUOTE="Lakers20004life"]i doubt it takes four years to come to the consoles does look good but but nothing revolutionary.Lakers20004life

I know, being the best looking game to come out is not revolutionary, at all.

arguably. not revolutionary.

I'm done with this topic, it's not coming to the consoles, suck it up and deal with it, at least you guys have Halo 3 / haze / killzone 2 / etc. *snickers* there may be a spin off that's as horrible as the "Far Cry" console versions, but Crysis the original will not come to the consoles untouched / changed.

I like how in Halo they show MC running as fast as they say and being as strong as they say in game.

Oh wait....

FSB i don't remember, but the voltage is at 1.6v IIRC.

also, yes lol the Zalman is set to high, all of the fans on my Antec 900 are set to medium, I have another fan on the side panel, and the only fan not on medium is the top 200m fan (on low)

I usually don't post here on Gamespot since I'm a Gamefaqs fan, but PC hardware here >>> PC Hardware on Gfaqs to be honest.

So without further adoo, here is my rig:

CPU - E6600 @ 4.0 ghz idles at 37c and under load at 55c

Mobo - BFG 680i SLI ready

RAM - Corsair XMS2 2gb DDR2 800 SLI ready

PSU - 650 watt Antec Trio

GPU - BFG 8800 GTS 320mb, and a PNY 8800 GTS 320mb in SLI

Sound Card - X-fi Fatal1ty Sound Card

Hard drives - Maxtor 500 gig, and a Raptor X 120 (some where around there, to lazy to look)

Cooling - CNSP 9700 Zalman

Case - Antec 900

Pics:

Note: The pic above this note is a old pic, this was before I got my Acer 22 inch and replaced both 17 inch screens with it, and when I didn't have my PNY 8800 GTS

I know the wiring is messy, but you have to bair with me that wire management in the Antec 900 is impossible without drilling holes (which I do not want to do) and hiding them behind the hard drive cage, which is hard.

Note: PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE ME, my pics are GIGANTIC and if you do so, the page on this thread will expand.
