[Qeldroma]

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300

Asus Stryker Extreme 680I

2 Gigs of Corsair XMS Dominator DDR2 800

Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX

74GB Raptor 10k RPM SATA

I already have this....

Thermaltake full tower case

Thermaltake Toughpower 700Watt PSU

19'' CRT Monitor

Keyboard and Mouse



Will this run crysis you think? I would certainly hope so. Not a bad way to spend $1600.

..members just keep finding new "creative" ways for showing off their new rig.







Good build tho', I on the other hand, have to pay mortgage.

 

[Silentsam]

I think you might need 2 GB's more ram to play StarCraft.... Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

 

[edmetalhead]

Obviously this post is not entirely serious. At the end, you also ask (rhetorically methinks) if your build will run Crysis. FYI, here are the requirements for Crysis:

Minimum Requirements

CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600/X800GTO (SM 2.0)
RAM: 768Mb/1Gb on Windows Vista
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP

Recommended Requirements

CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5Gb
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX10 with Windows Vista

Nah, it's too slow to run Starcraft. You need a quad core, probably 16GB of RAM, and go with two 8800GTX in SLI, then maybe, just maybe you'll get past the openning credits before Starcraft crashes your system.

 

[muffins]

the cimematics are gonna bog that rig down like crazy....lol

 

[papi4baby]

It wont run, cause Asus is crap, i bet you will have to RMA the board, because it will be very buggy, if you even get it to post.

 

[drifter_888]

I have starcraft running on my machine ... I think it is a PIII. Yeah, I'm long overdue for an upgrade.

 

[tool_462]

Lol nice optimism.

 

[Qeldroma]

Im just kidding guys. Just seeing what kind of response I could get with this post.

I do not own this build obiously. But I am hoping to get it. Hopefully around x-mas. Any thoughts on any specific components, or am I right on the money?

 

[Sethanis]

it might, just run starcraft, but it will go at a million miles an hour

i got a question tho, can u run starcraft with xp64 and my rig

 

[Qeldroma]

Not sure but I know that at 640X480 Unreal Tournemant runs at almost 200FPS.

Athlon XP 1.4ghz

512MB Ram

Radeon 9550

 

[sailer]

Sure it will run Starcraft, and give new definition to the term "Lightspeed". More seriously, some of those old games won't run on dual core cpu's.

My kid tried to load Starcraft and a couple other old games and found they wouldn't work. Something about the games not recognizing the dual core processor. Can't tell you about the XP64 part.

Starcraft does work on a X2, I know..im koren.


Anyways.... I still have an old p75 laptop with 32mb of ram running win98 and it plays star craft fine. I just upgraded it with a enternal HD-DVD burner and now its super.

You really should have waited for a Core 2 Quadro, man. Starcraft is going to beat the living crap out of your system. All I can say is that if you ever get on battle.net and you get yourself into a big battle, your game is going to turn into a slide show with all those little sprites on the screen. I am sure that 640x480 resolution will probably be more than even your monitor is capable of handling, so good luck to you.

P.S. Nice build by the way

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

Not to ruin your banter, but most CRT monitors since 85' have supported 1600x1200.


I do wish I could find a 12'' green screen monitor to work with my comptuer... that would pwn.

 

[Zorak]

Well that just took all the fun out of my comment

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

Cheer up! Dont go blue, think of something new to do!

 

[boduke]

I loaded up Starcraft last night on my rig (specs in sig) and it runs pretty spiffy. So yes it will run....

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

Starcraft is the best RTS game ever. No other game has come close, although I do like the C&C games. DOW40k isnt as good as its hyped to be.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

I think the OP means will it run A starcraft?With a rig like that more n likely heheh
