Yeah, I hate to say it but the game is down right awful. I see to many people using the MP5 as a sniper rifle on full auto from across the map to get kills yet I can walk right up next to someone while they are sitting still with my ar and it takes the full clip to put them down.

Everything else the TC has said is also true.

2000 US$ would be a safe bet, as with that budget, I could get by mid-August: -Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 -2 GB DDR2-1066 SDRAM -nVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB -Auzentech X-Fi Prelude -500 GB 7,200 RPM SATA HDD -Intel X38-based motherboard (can't say for sure yet since they haven't actually been released) -a good case of some sort (looking at several Lian-Li offerings, as well as the Antec 900) Oh, wait, that's actually 1800 US$, since my 2000 US$ figure includes an OEM copy of Windows Vista Ultimate. Nevertheless, it should chew through Bioshock, Crysis, and any other game released in the next year or two without any problems. Anyway, here are my suggestions: -Intel's Core 2 line is the way to go right now. If you have to get it now, I'd go for the E6320 or E6420 and install a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme or Tuniq Tower 120 to assist in overclocking it to around 3.4 GHz or so. I'd rather wait until July 22 so that you can get a Q6600 for around 260 US$, though-four cores beat two! -And with that Core 2, I'd get an Intel P35-based motherboard, or maybe an X38-based one if you're waiting until August. -I suggest just getting one powerful graphics card, like a GeForce 8800 GTS, and not bother with SLI or CrossFire; the slight performance increase isn't worth twice the cost, twice the power consumption, and twice the heat, unless you're playing at insane resolutions like 2560x1600. Besides, when you would normally add a second card to increase performance, you can just get a single card that runs faster than the two of them, runs cooler, and draws less power, not to mention freeing up another PCIe slot. -A good sound card is a MUST for any gaming system if you have the extra cash for one. A Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic or better is recommended(do NOT get the XtremeAudio, as it lacks the X-Fi chip and relies on your CPU to do the work), or if you can hold off until late July, spring for the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude. -Don't skimp on the PSU. I'd get one rated for 600W or 700W, if not more, just to be on the safe side.NamelessPlayer

Thank you so much for the suggestions.

Thanks, its just so confusing. I mean some say run dual cards and and Im like how good is SLI anyway?
