Fatalmasterpiece Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Dont build a system around a single game. Build it on what you can afford, want and enjoy, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordWushin Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 As Fatal said get what you can afford. Just remember if you get a higher end graphics you need 4+ gb of ram, I recommend 6 at least. And build from scratch! New egg is a good source to start building your own and a lot cheaper if you know how to put the pieces together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellsMaster Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 1500 is not overkill. You might want to drop the CPU and go for a Geforce 580 (epic card). You can go for an AMD Phenom II x4 3.2Ghz instead and OC it to the best you can. The CPU is in most occasion used to handle physics but the power house 580 takes care of it. For game with Large Areas (Such as oblivion, TW2, Skyrim, Assassins Creed) i suggets you bump up the RAM to 6gb (for triple channel) or 8gb (for dual channel). The i5 "2500k" is overkill and obviously a biased judgement of Urbex as he seems to recommand everybody to get an i5 "2500k". Source: Personal EXP. Latets game are about having a PowerHouse Graphics Cards and a decent cooler so the GFXCard doesnt blow your room away. - HellsMaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Phenom II X4 for a mid tier build or an i5 2500k for an intel build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellsMaster Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 For an intel Build? If you got the "Dough" go for a i7 for all I care.. Its just for bragging rights. CPU doesnt make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPU doesnt make much difference.I know for a fact my Phenom II X4 is the reason I get 9fps with open better cities installed. Games with a lot of AI strings need a good CPU, especially if they're modded in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivid2012 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Crysis doesn't need a lot of power TBH. Plus in my opinion the graphics look 10x better than Crysis and Crysis 2. Wipes coffee off keyboard.just take coffee away when playing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
