Best gaming Pc?

[Iandiaeufaieubfeuihfi]

Im getting a new Pc. What computer is fit for gaming, and what graphic card should I use? What I really want from a pc is the ability for it to play Crisis on default resolution without the computer spazzing out on me because if a computer can handle Crisis, it can handle anything. I got money to buy one without custom-making it.

we need a bit more than that

do you know anything about building computers because most people who can don't need to ask for hardware recomendations

How much can you spend?

what resolution? i'm assuming 1920x1200p is the mximum you would be looking at

What settings do you want to run crysis on? What kind of fps do you consider "running"?

Also, ignore the consoletards who'll inevitably show up and tell you to get an Alienware/Falcon NW, those are outdated $800 machines with an $8000 hand engraved case which fucks up the airflow.

The one I'm buying has an AMD Phenom II Quad Core 965 processor, an Nvidia GeForce 480 video card, and 8GB DDR3.

It will be awesome.

There is no best PC, the moment you buy it (or if you're lucky, 10 days later), a new, better PC will be out.

Alienware. My bro bought an expensive ass rig six years ago and is still better that most computers I've ever seen due to proper care and slight tinkering.

ITT: People who don't know what they're talking about.

You have to build a computer in order to get the best, and you have to spend a ridiculous amount of money for that.

Build one and save money.

Build one yourself.
My computer is about 1.5 years old and it only cost me $850 AU (about $760 US) for the parts.
It can run Crysis on highest settings at 1280x1024 res at smoothly but it could probably run higher if I had a bigger monitor.
The hardest part is finding where to get the cheapest parts.

Okay, if you're talking buying out of a box, I suggest a laptop. Seriously. If you're not getting a laptop, then you should build it yourself and save a TON of cash. Cash you can use to get kickass games.

My laptop is 3 years old, and it can run Crysis on Medium without hitch. It can go to very high, but starts juttering hard when combat gets heavy. Runs well on high, until it starts frying my legs after 20 minutes or so, then it starts slugging because it's overheating.

Honestly, though, a good laptop can do everything you need it to out of the box, but a great desktop should be hand crafted so that not only does it kick much ass, but also have that emotion attachment of I BUILT THIS DAMN THING NOW WORK DAMMMIT!!!!!!!

Honestly, NewEgg and TigerDirect are pretty much all you need. NewEgg, especially, has almost consistently the lowest prices and excellent customer service.

Ya I've had my Alienware computer for about 5 or so years now, and I can run Crysis and most games on the highest settings. Mine cost something like $1000, but I got it as a present so I'm not sure whether it was top of the line or if there were better ones out there.

I'm wanting a new PC too my friend. The choice I made was to look online for the parts I needed and matched them up with the parts that fit my budget and work together (or at least that's the theory). I suggest you do the same. Mine came to a ball park figure of £650. I expect a retailer would sell it for £1000. So, to sum up.

1. Find parts online.
2. Put parts together.
3. Play games.
4. ???
5. Profit!

Notice Rascal King's 360 avatar. No offence, I just find it hilariously coincidental.

OT: I'm assuming this is your first gaming rig. If so, I'd say spend very little for your first machine. No more than $500-$600 at most. Mainly because 1. you can always upgrade later, 2. you can find really great deals for hardware if you stick to a strict budget and shop around, and 3. most builds around that price range will run Crysis well on high settings nowadays.

Here's a decent video to get you started
