first game i will play is crysis



thanks for reading,

I dont think what you are building is enough, you probably wont be able to play any game on high settings, let alone crysis on low!!! I would just trash what you have and start over with decent parts....






j/k That computer is going to be insane! Have fun putting it together!

Hi Coding Monkey......

that is a SUPER lineup, might i suggest 3x 20'' monitors, as this will be much better for gaming, otherwise you have the screen split is in the center....??

you may want to take a look over here if you haven't already...

NICE!!!!! you must chuck up some benches & vids of the 3 monitor gamers dream...lol

EDIT: hang on have those monitors got no DVI..?? DONT BUY THEM if so, although saying that i think the digital splitter is a lot more expensive than the analouge one (though im no expert on multi monitors)

You should consider the 4870. Gtx is quite a costly card compared to 4870, but seems like ur going all out, why not push ur memory to 8gb? And ur going for a $1000+? Wtf do you need that much processor speed for.. 2.3 quad does the job wonderfully for me. 8gb ram makes up for speed.

Developers wont bring games out for another 5 years that will even push ur specs off the charts.

2x30" is insanity. you obviously got money coming out of ur ass.

Drug Dealer much?
