I am going to be buying a new PC in time for Crysis
I have $1500(Canadian) to spend including tax
***********After some of my parts I have listed questions about each that I would like to know!**************
Here's what I have
$90 Antec New Solution NSK4480B (Black) ATX Tower Case
$140 OCZ GameXStream 700W Power supply
(do I need this many watts if I am not going SLi?)
$109 Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mobo
$219 Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
(why is this cheaper than the E6600?)
$189 OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC Edition 2GB
(should I go with 2gb of fast ram or 4gb of slower ram?)
$599 eVGA 8800GTX
$69 WD SE 160GB
$35 LG DVD writer
Total $1450 and with tax that's $1653 (wow I hate 14% tax in Ontario)
Anyways it seems I am over, I want to be able to run Crysis on my 22' or 24' monitor (that expense is not included as I am not paying for the monitor)so that's either at 1680x1050 or 1920x1200 with absolutely NO hiccups.
Is there anything to reduce the cost of my build while still allowing me to play on those resolutions or should I keep the build and just have to save up?
Thank you
