Wanna know what I went with before going all insane with my current PC? http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae19 ... to0068.jpg http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae19 ... to0065.jpg http://i971.photobucket.com/albums/ae19 ... to0068.jpg It was a champ (and it's still being used...by my father) and did a lot of the necessary gaming (ran Crysis at High settings...not Highest but still good). |

Well I did put some muscle into the computer to have it play Crysis on high settings. When I first got the build, it was running this card: http://www.tweakpc.de/hardware/tests/gr ... 00gt_1.jpg After hearing about Crysis for the first time, I tried playing it with the 8600GT you see there. It was only able to handle the game at Medium settings and I wasn't satisfied with that. When I read about how well the 8800GT performed, I set out to purchase that. I was finally able to hit High settings with Crysis and it slapped a nice grin on my face. The 8800GT you see in my old computer is about a year old now and really packs a nice punch even today. However, since I moved onto my Core i5 750 build (the current computer I use), the old PC was just collecting dust. My father was pissed off about how his Pentium M-equipped laptop from Dell was acting so I suggested that he take my old PC. So yeah, he's using my old one while I'm using my green/blue glowing tank. My old PC is actually overkill for what my father uses a PC for but hey, as long as someone puts it to good use, I'm satisfied. |

Sorry to break this to you Bunny but that desktop he's using still belongs to me lol. My cousin gave me an HP desktop since she didn't need it (her & her husband both decided to get laptops and didn't need the desktop.) So, if for some odd and insane reason I need my old desktop back, I'll have him use the HP I got from my cousin. |
