Hey!
This is the first time I'm gonna build a computer and I'm not sure if it will be good enough to play all the new games. I've always wanted gaming pc and now is my chance.
This is what I've come up with so far and it looks pretty good to me :ange: :

- Cooler Master HAF Mini 922 Black <- Case
- Silver Power SP-SS650 650W <- Power supply
- ASUS P5Q Deluxe, P45, Socket-775 <- Motherboad
- Intel Core™ 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz Socket <- Processor
- XFX Radeon HD 4890 1GB "xXx" GDDR5 <- Graphics card
- Corsair XMS2 Xtreme Performance 4 GB <- RAM
- Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB <- Hard drive
- Samsung DVD-burner SE-S224Q, 22x < Burner
- Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit Sv Single <- OS

Well, this is it. If you got anything to add or a tip or something.
And one thing: I live in Sweden and the prices can be a bit different to the other contrys, but if you know something that will work better in the system, please tell me ;)

Nice LGA 775 rig but, would you like to stick with Intel or see the pII top rig for the same price as that one?

 

LGA 775 died out a while back. Still have good cpu's just, theres no upgrade path with them.

 

Depends on what resolution and gfx card.

 

a good gfx card like the 4890 will be really good at more higher resolutions.

I'm looking for preformance and if you can suggest a system that is as good as this or even better for the same money, then sure I'm interested. :D

Thanks! Can it run Crysis with all very high settings without lagg? That would be awsome! :D Thanks for the suggestion :sol:

Crysis isnt such a great game on multiplayer. I only liked it in the beginning on single.

interesting fact tho crysis at 1980x1200 has a gig of data per frame

@obsidian, no ATi card can play Crysis with 4xAA at a decent frame rate, let alone at 45fps.

he'll probably get 25fps.

that bench mark was done on older tech an older drivers

^ it is however biased, the GTX 285 beats the 4890 by a considerable margin in Crysis, and look at this bench by tweaktown, it's run with no AA and the 4890 still only gets 26fps average, while the 285 gets 37fps average.

this shows the same story but with 2xAA

^ well Guru3D also said 29fps at 2xAA, so that's 3 reviews against one.
