Important is which resolution!!!

1280x1024 is HD4850/9800GTX(+), C2D E8300/Phenom X4/C2Q 9400 and 2GB are enough to play on max settings with AA & AAF.

Same system can also run @ 1680x1050 just need more RAM 3GB or more and HD4870/GTX 260 or better.

For 1920x1080/1900x1200 you also will need C2D E8400/Phenom II/C2Q 9450 or better , 4GB RAM and X2/SLI
Otherwise you will be not able to play realy on max settings with AA & AAF.


@kissthedingo

Bull****
1. FarCry needs much lower GPU Power and bit more CPU power than Crysis.
2. Quad SLI will appear micro jerkings(no idea what exact english word is)
3. Core i7 is slower in games than other CPUs
4. It would make more sense to run HDD's in RAID 0
5. I think you don't own that system and just pose

Could you tell exactly Frequency to which CPU is overclocked, your graphical drivers version and resolution which you tested.

@all who asking:
Tell which resolution you want to play!
And if you want AA/AAF

If farcry gets choppy on just max for you then you got a problem. Heres what I got and I can run max no problem with average 30fps. Any higher I get about 24 and a little choppy on far cry. No problems at all on crysis, average about 34. I'm not even overclocking anything.

1. Motherboard EVGA nForce 780i SLI
2. CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz 6MB L2, 1333MHz FSB, 45nm
3. Graphics Card EVGA Geforce GTX 280
4. RAM Corsair 2x2gb DDR2 800 PC 6400
5. Power Supply Xion 1000W Super Nova
6. Case XION DAZL
7. Hard Drive Western Digital / Seagate 2x 500Gb 1x 320 GB SATA2 7200 RPM 16m Cache
8. Monitor 2xViewSonic VX1912wb
9. Accessories Windows Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit

Ahrey.

First of all I was talking about FarCry 2, not FarCry. Secondly, I wish I'm just a "pose." I would still have my $4,880 in my bank right now. But you know what, I really don't care of what you think of me. I don't know you and I don't have a strong and compelling reason to try to convince you otherwise. I wrote in this forum to address the issue of performance capability, not "trying to impress Ahrey of my computer." Lastly, I did not get my CPU OC'd. You need to read a bit more carefuly before b*tch*ng.

I am planning to sell a gaming rig with the best performance/price ratio with these specs:

Intel Core i7 920 Overclocked from 2.66GHz to 3.0GHz
3GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 Tripple Channel PC12800
Asus P6T X58 Motherboard
2 x 1024MB GDDR3 ATI Radeon HD4850 CrossFire X
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM SATA 32MB Cache
LG SATA LightScribe CD/DVD-RW
OCZ 700 Watt Power Supply
Antec Three Hundred Gaming Case
2 x 120 mm front intake fans
1 x 120 mm rear exhaust fan
1 x 140 mm top exhaust fan

Windows XP Professional SP3 (DirectX10 isn't enough to compensate Vista's flaws)

I think it can play Crysis at 80 fps on High settings at 1680 x 1050 resolution, which is pretty good for a computer that only cost $1,500 with FREE SHIPPING

so, what do you guys think ??? Do you think people will buy that for $1,500 on eBay ??? If not, please give me some improvement suggestions.

Oh people will buy it...I think its a very reasonable price, hell even I would buy it. And who knows...

oh thank you for that heart warming comment, I've been feeling down lately and that cheered me up.

I realized most people don't like expensive things nowadays no matter how good they are, since the current global economics is so bad.

So the best performance/price is the solution trying to make sales

I know my finances aren't so bad right now but I actually think its a bit cheap...
