****** WARNING THIS IS AN I.T QUESTION **********
theres a cool new game coming out called crysis but everyone rekons u need top of the top parts.
my system:
acer 22" screen.......700:1......1680x1050.......5ms response time
am2 or amd (forgot) 5200+
2 gig high end ram
gigabyte S tpye motherboard (it says the best one for gaming on the box)
leadtek winfast px7950 gt 512mb vid card
what I (i want ur thoughts on this!) think i would need to play crysis on max settings:
amd 6200+ (someone said it does not exist)
4 gig high end ram
xfx 8800 gtx 768mb vid card
and i really dont know what screen to get but i want it to be 24" and i want it to be the best quality avaible....whether it be HD????....HDCP????....BLURAY???
i know the cost for most of this except the screen and the 6200+
so if u think that system will be kik arse for crysis plz pm me and let me know
maybe u think its a horrible idea and i will just be wasteing 1000s of dollars.....please i want ur opinion cause yous know more than me and i really want the best possible system for crysis
any help would be sweet and if you help me get a killa pc then maybe yous can come round and help me set the sh*t up then we can play CRYSIS IN DX10 GLORY!!!
Your comp will already run it
amd 6000+ (cant find 6200, probably not out) cpu, this is 3ghz dual core, very nice = $349. I would say go for this, waiting for a 6200+ for only a 300mhz or so speed increase isnt really worth it for now.
4gb corsair ddr ram, this is running 800mhz, = $1000
8800gtx 768mb, looking at about $1000
your screen is already pretty sweet, personally i think its a bit of a waste to only upgrade to 24" from 22", but 24" = $1200
if you didnt get the screen, youd be paying about $2500, pretty sweet

although you'll probably need a new mobo which will set you back another $300 or so...
might find cheaper prices somewhere else, i was just looking at photech cause its my nearest shop

screenwise, i would probably look for an lcd tv and plug your comp into that, for the size, its a lot cheaper. (32" screen with HD resolution = $771, off ebay though...but still, can get them cheaper than a lcd pc monitor).
do you know when crysis is coming out?
