I don't want it to be so cheap that I'd have to upgrade it in like a year but something that will last a few years at least. Like I said, it needs to be able to run Crysis and other newer games pretty well. Pretty much nothing I have now will be compatible with the new stuff (save for my sound/ethernet card). Cheap, Powerful, Long-lasting. Thanks...I'll add more info if need be. |

i would recommend geting a e8400 for your cpu
Gskill ddr2 800 Antec 650w power supply 9800gx2 just a little expensive but will run crysis on max settings 8800gt this one may not run crysis as smoothly but it is about half price motherboard this will last you a long time but is a little pricey motherboard 2 about half the price as the first one not as new but will still meet your needs I dont know the size or type of hd you want or what your taste are in cases but those are easy purchases -------------------- My system specs
Small chip that goes fast some spinning things a case, a mouse, and a keyboard and a wonderful rectanlge box of colors. |

I think getting an ATI 4850 would be a better card for the money. It gets way higher in Crysis then the 8800GT, and only costs about $25 more than the 8800Gt.
Also, a 650-watt power supply would be overkill. He could probably get away with a high quality 400-500Watt power supply, unless he wants to get dual video cards. even so, Tomshardware has an article today on their sub $1000 gaming rig. They used two 8800GT's in SLI with a 400-watt power supply. If you get less watts, you can spend the extra money on a higher quality psu. --------------------  |
