Can anyone tell me what computer I should get?

Replies drifting Posted at 1:48 pm on Oct. 12, 2008 You are NOT getting something that can play Crysis at its full spec for that price. Most tri-SLI rigs (GTX280s) can barely handle Crysis maxed out. Get a mid-range gaming rig with an 8800, or higher (but not a lower 9 series, those are just crap....9800 is fine). Dont expect to be playing Crysis on high with full res though. Its one or the other: High res, or high spec. anthonykorsen007 Posted at 9:50 am on Oct. 12, 2008 Is building your own an option? Because you'll get a helluva lot more for that if you do it yourself. Btw at my school we all are required to buy the same laptops, my roommate plays Crysis and he can't do it at full potential. Our specs? 2.6 GHz Intel dualcore, 3 gigs RAM, 256 mb nVidia quadro graphics cards. The cost? $2400 (though like $300 of that was software, but still, a thousand over your desired cost). My advice, get a desktop... they cost less for the same specs, have better cooling, are easier to upgrade. My first question though, is can you build one on your own?

Ill try and remember the specs: intel duo processor 2ghz 3gb ram nvidia geforce 8400m gs Thats off the welcome centre, but its really good, great sound, great screen. It has a remote control and blu ray drive. Live Just To Die Posted at 9:36 am on Oct. 12, 2008 Uhhhhhh.
