Hello all,

I am looking for the cheapest parts to play Crysis 3 at 1680x1050 at ultra/high. SSD only, no OS, Intel, and NVidia card. At least 8GB RAM.

Thank you, AMDRazer

For 1800 - you can get it to play anything at 2k at ultra.

This 1330 build will go at 1440 with no issues in not only Crysis, but most games out there. It leaves you 500 to get a nice monitor if you so wish.
