Alright everyone.
I think it's time to upgrade my computer.

What I will be keeping is my 22inch monitor (1680x1050) and my AMD Anthalon 64 X2 Dual Core. I currently have 2 gigs of ram, which I will be upgrading to 4gigs. I would like someone to help me pick out parts (harddrive, videocard etc.) to make my computer possibly run Crysis on high with no fps lag.

Thanks

No Money Budget as of right now.

Thanks

-John

Gonna need a bit more info :D Download CPU-Z and post your specs off that, it will tell you mobo, proc speed and all sorts of useful stuff like that. Your current case / cooling / PSU would be good as well.

If money is no object though, i would recommend you bin the lot and look at a Core i7 build, that will probably set you back $1500-1800 ish but it'll be the nuts, and will last you a good while.
