Hey everyone here...
Im new, Hi. I am looking to get a 700 Dollar PC to run games like Fallout 3 and Crysis, ETC. I know virtually nothing about computers, so I would like your guy's help choosing a 700 dollar build.
Factors:
Probably want a pentium.
at least 4 GB of MEM.
A TB of Hard drive.
OS included (Would be nice to have a Windows 7 upgrade too)
Whatever help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Without people like you I would be lost on my Atari 2600 even today. :)

crysis is an extremly demanding game so i pretty much built this around that game and it came out $915. a $700 gaming rig that can run crysis at a playable level is border line impossible. i didnt even add a monitor in this build and its a AMD build so its as cheap i can get it, and run crysis. crysis is used as a benchmark for people with extreamly powerful and expensive rigs, so if this isnt in your budget you may not be able to play crysis. the main reason it is so expensive is because crysis wont play if you use an ATI card, and only works with Nvidia cards (the card i chose for you is Nvidia). if you want to get a gaming rig that cheap and with the specs you said you wanted you may want to look into building a computer yourself, but you said you dont kno the first thing about computers so your kinda in a bind  . maybe you could save up a little more money, or wait about a month for the price on this rig to go down idk.

Crysis can run on AMD, just not as well as on NVIDIA. For a budget build like this, the 4870 would perform better than the GTS 250.

Why the hell do you want to play Crysis? Or any FPS for that matter? Plus if you really like FPSs then just get another one. Crysis is the most demanding game out there, and needs a very powerful and expensive rig to run. Just get The Orange Box dammit. Crysis is over-hyped just because it's so demanding, if you have a Computer that can run it, you have a very powerful system. It's just as good as any FPS. Just, don't man. You don't need it. ------------- REGUS FILLMAN WANTS COFFEE GET REGUS FILLMAN REGUS FILLMAN'S COFFEE. |

I actually wanted to more than anything else play Fallout 3 and Oblivion with many mods on high settings. I just used Crysis as an example because of this

Should anything that is really only for Crysis be changed with the build you made?
Thanks for your guys' help.
