Now, I don't know too much about hardware.. I know i5 or i7 is the way to go with CPUs nowadays, and i know there are different versions of each, some more expensive and more powerful than others.
graphics card wise, i've got the general sense that SLI'd 580s are the way to go as well, maybe 570s, and i've heard that the best card out there right now is the 590 or the 6990, one of the two. So i'm assuming that will be where i head if i go for a single card. As for power supply, 1000 watts is optimal, i think. Operating system wise, Windows Vista or Windows 7... one of the two.
RAM... 8gb? don't know if there's a need for more than that.
Everyhting else (motherboards, coolers, Power supply, etc.) I know next to nothing about.
I do, however, want to get a computer built for me that is very, very powerful for gaming. I'm looking for Crysis and Metro 2033, maxed out, with a 60+ frame rate.
Do you guys think that 2200-2500 dollars is an adequate budget for this performance? If yes, then could i get some suggestions in terms of hardware?
tl;dr: is 2200-2500 bucks good for a powerful gaming computer, and can i have some hardware reccomendations?
