anyone help me please as i am going to buy soon

 

[ubernoobie]

overpriced, with 3grand, you can buy a 980x,12gb of ram,2 gtx 480s, a good x58 mobo, watercooling, a ssd and 2 harddrives raid 0 with corsair 800d and still have money left

 

[lowriderflow]

This is overkill....

I7 920, 6gb RAM, gtx 480 will be fine. and you don't need all this liquid cooling hocus pocus or overclocking.... not to run FF

 

[venom2]

to run it at max settings at highest resolution?

 

[mindless728]

yeah, overpriced, i helped someone with a tri-fire 5870 build at $2500 (including and SSD for a boot drive)

A gaming Laptop could run that game in 1080p easily. All console port are damn easy to render. It's not Crysis for god sake, it's FF.
