Buttsex... even the effin requirements to run Crysis owns your advice. 2.4 or 2.6GHz is gonna run that game shitty.
Deospeon, listen to me... I'm a legitimate Computer Engineer with a little over 10 years of experience in computers, including Engine Control Units (ECUs). If you want to run Crysis fine, there's 4 main things you need. 1. a processor able to push a minimum of 3.0GHz 2. 3GB of RAM or more 3. a video card that can handle maximum settings for ANY video game (the video card you're gonna buy is perfect, I would highly recommend EVGA's build of that specific card as they're the kings of nvidia, hands down. 4. a 64-bit OS whether it's Windows XP, Vista, or 7. I preferably would use Windows XP or Windows 7... Vista has horrible bugs that give off false positives for a few things, including networking or internet connectivity for that matter. The minimum requirements you're lookin at for Crysis is to run Crysis on low settings and quite honestly, low settings on Crysis or even GTA4 for that matter, is not even worth it. Have patience, save your money, when you see a great deal, buy that product. You don't need to buy everything in one shot. Unless of course you're rich as all hell, then by all means create your PC by adding the parts into the wish list and purchase all of them in one shot. Otherwise, just have patience... EDIT: I read your post about having a stock heatsink / fan. I'm telling you right now if you're planning to run Crysis you need an aftermarket heatsink / fan. Between that processor you have or about to purchase + the stock heat sink / fan... I can guarantee your game is going to run choppy, probably to the point that it'll freeze up. |

^ Integrated graphics are perfect if you're not playing games on it.
