I am looking into buying a new gaming computer and know nothing about computers at all except how to turn them on and off and the simplest stuff, so I have no idea what I'm looking for when buying one, and oblivious to building one. I found a website that sells computers called Cyberpowerpc.com but I don't know if that is a respected site.

I am on a budget of $800 and below (tower only). I found some cool looking computers there, but I don't know if they can handle what I want them too. I like playing games. SO which of these computers will do the best running the game Crysis. I don't like the game itself, but a computer that can run that game can pretty much run any other game, so I'm just using it as an example.

SO here are the computers I found. If someone can tell me which one is the best, or if they just completely blow and don't be afraid to suggest another computer that you may know of :

1. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Intel_Core_i7_Configurator/

2. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Dragon_8000/

3. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Ultra_9000_GT/

--There are a lot of computers on the site near my budget, so if someone is familiar with this site and can suggest the best computer please do so.

Get Gamer Dragon 8000, change the PSU to consair 650W

If you can get that Custom Full-Tower Case with PhenomII x4 940, ATI4890, with $800. Get that one.

Just an FYI, none of those will run Crysis "at full settings", with some of the settings you can max them, but definately not all of then and for sure not AA. You would be best off building your own to be honest,but of those the best one is the one at the bottom of your list, with the "custom full tower case, phenom II X4 940, etc"
 
I would go with the Gamer Dragon, it has a good mobo, and i would recommend the corsair 650w like daisymtc said. If you have some extra cash however i would consider going with the ASUS M4A79T board that will support amd processors longer and has DDR3 memory(You'll need to put that together yourself then). The only downside is that its more expensive atm but thats just incase you want to upgrade a few years down the road. But thats just my opinion.
 
Yah great systems but if you want to get the "best" graphics, your gonna have to get a better vid card than a 9800gt/4850...

I would go nvidia260+ or an ati 4890.

Like I said I don't know anything about computers and how they run, but I do know about people and how they favor Intel or AMD. Just give me an honest review of which is better, and don't play favorites. And I picked these two because they where around my price range, and I want the best I can afford. ($800)



After doing some research I have kinda found what I need to look for in a good computer. I found this one and the person says it runs Crysis at max settings which is what I'm looking for. Is this setup better than the computers above that I found? :


Custom Full-Tower Case
Phenom II 940 Quad-Core Black Edition @ 3.0Ghz stock
Asus M4A79 Deluxe AM3/AM2 Motherboard
4 GB OCZ Fatal1ty DDR2 Memory @ 1066Mhz
Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 OC Edition @ 900Mhz Core Clock (The fastest single ATi card out...for now)
Western Digital Caviar Black 650 GB 32 MB Cache
Corsair HX650 Watt Power Supply (Voted best power supply by PC magazine)
Windows XP 64-Bit Professional Service Pack 3
LG DVD Burner
Linksys Wireless Card (802 something or other)
Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Click to expand...

you should wait, learn how to build a comp (wont take long at all ,really easy actually) and then do this
 
Well I missed out on the bottom computer being sold so I removed that from my options. So the gamer dragon 8000 with a better graphics card and PSU is the best way to go besides building my own?
