Crysis is the most demanding game on Earth, you need a much better video card to play it.

You should get 8800GT 512MB

Don't waste your money on SLI because one 8800GT is by far much better than two 8600GT

Get this motherboard

And this RAM

The Hard Drive you posted is only 80GB !!! Are you sure that 80GB is enough for you ?

You can get 160GB for a little more

If you want to save some money then you can change the CPU to E4500 or E2200

nope. you need to upgrade everything else. gfx card to 8800, processor, better ram, more than 500 w, a better hard drive. sorry to be picking on you but a budget computer at bestbuy would have better specs then those. your going to have to spend over $1000 to get a good computer.
 
?! what should i get?

dude i might play crysis a little... it doesnt have to have amazing graphics, i saw vids on youtube with the 8600GT and it works great, but im not an expert. i wouldnt mind if you watched those videos and replied back, thanks. im not trying to be rude... sorry. i want the 700 dollar budget, and to get the best computer for that price. i put a real crummy mobo in there but whatever. is the 2600xt a good video card to get?

Click to expand...

Any card above a 6800 will play Crysis. I can play it on my $25 GFX easy. The point is to get the best bang for the buck to save money in the future, and play at the highest settings you can.

Fine fine, get the HD3850. You'll never regret it. Every game I play is... max. 'cept for Crysis of course :P
