I'm planning on building a new machine for gaming. I'd like it to be able to run crysis well and Oblivion flawlessly. Ive got $1450 to spend, it's not possible to go higher, and that must cover shipping and taxes.
What ive come up with so far...
Amd 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane (2.6GHz)- $87
Jetway 780G ATX AMD Mobo $100
Corsair (2 X 2Gb) 240 pin 800 DDR2 $87
Seagate Barracuda 250Gb 7200 rpm 3Gb/s SATA $55
Pioneer 20X DVD+-R DVD Burner $33
2 X Ati Radeon 4850 Pci ex 2.0X16 2X $170
Aerocool Masstige Silver SECC .8mm Atx Case $100
Rosewill 750W PCU $105
Total: $905
This leaves me with (just guessing) around 100-200 dollars to play with.(I'm factoring in taxes and possible shipping costs)
Notes:
■I dont have much need for hardrive space, just speed.
■Im free to change the power supply, mobo, dvd burner, and/or the case since i dont know much about them, but i would prefer not to spend too much more.
■I have considered a beefier Processor, but Ive heard you dont need too much for even a game like Crysis.(considering my 2.2Ghz single core doesn't even bottleneck my system in that game)
■To all Ati/Nvidia fanboys out there, i picked the 4850 based on how well people said it performed and it's low price compared to other good cards. But im still open to suggestions there.
■But mostly, I'm looking for suggestions as to whether these parts are compatible, ex. whether the vid cards fit on the mobo well which fits in the case well. And also how well this might handle a game like Crysis?
