thanks guys... will a 9800gtx (one) run me crysis in highest settings with about how much fps?lopidin

hey, i'm looking for the best video card i can find. i want to be able to run games like bioshock, fallout 3, crysis, etc.. my other hardware is already pretty good but i want to upgrade from an old video card. im looking for the best there is, but not too expensive (max is $250USD) any suggestions??

thanks for posting on my thread. i just wanted to point out to you that if you want to use more than 4GB ram, you will need a 64 BIT vista.

good luck!

Where are you getting 4GB of Corsair RAM for $30? aaron6581230

tigerdirect :-) after rebates and saving and stuff..

ahh yes i almost forgot.. NEVER, EVER, copy and paste the contents if you have not backed them up. if you have a burner, put the contents on a external hard drive and back them up. another note, your games will not be copied twice, only your personal settings, game saves, music, etc. or anything you put in c/documentssettings/(youraccountname) (like my music, my pictures, my documents, my desktop)

this happened to my old computer. it's something you malicious that you downloaded, it simply corrupted your main profile, and windows has created a new 'dummy' profile so that you can log in. it will continue to use this dummy profile until you create a new profile, transfer everything you had on your main profile (you can access this by going onto c/documentsandsettings/(your account name), you copy all of its contents and paste them in your new profile.

good luck!

Hi, I need help building a gaming PC. I want it to run games like Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Fallout 3, etc. at a good fps and in high settings, but I don't really know much about computers. I have been looking for things and this is what I have so far.

Asus P5N-E SLI Motherboard --- 130$

Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive-- 150$

GeForce 8800GT Video Card 512mb-150$

Intel Core2 Duo e8400 3.0Ghz--- 180$

Corsair 800mhz 4gb RAM---30$

Total is around 600$

I want to build a gaming PC that will 'work' and be 'up to date' for as long as possible (so i dont have to purchase another one every 5 months) that will cost less than 700$ (not including case, PSU, fans, OS, etc. anything you would recommend adding, removing, replacing in my list please tell me.

I would also like to know if it would be better to use windows XP or Vista with my specs?

thanks in advance!
