my dad was going to get me this dell xps studio 7100 http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=dxdodr3&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&model_id=studio-xps-7100

i mean its pretty good but it only has a 460 watt psu (i called dell and found out) and the graphics card is good but not nearly as good as the pc i got from newegg and the processors are about the same actually there egzactly the same if i remember correctly

heres the pc i talked my dad into gettin from newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229221

the specs of that baby r good the only downside of this pc is it dont include a monitor which btw if you guys could tell me what resolution monitor and how much inches based on that newegg pc's specs thatd be awesome and it only has 4 gb of ram but that should be good right?

I generally go with anything that's not a Dell.

lol i know right! now lets be fair here i think dell by far has the best stock computers for everyday stuff but not gaming thats for sure

should be good to go i guess

I'd Say either a 24" 1920x1080 (not one of those 23.6" fake HD monitors) or a 22" monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050, That graphics card is usless if you have resolutions lower than that of a 22" screen.

EDIT: if possible look for a similar PC but with an intel i5/i7 variant.

could use a second gpu (not for crysis 2 tho) and a bit more ram but also depends on what your going to do with the computer. if your main goal is to run crysis 2 full-out it needs another gpu (ati 6870) for crossfire. once crytek fixes the sli/crossfire bug....i STRESS if. the game will run like crazy. right now everyone is just waiting for the "big patch"..........good luck nice selection for the money.

lol its too late haha allready payed for the only thing i wanna add to this pc right now is more ram and in the future an additional graphics card

For crysis 2 i actually dont see why he would need a second GPU (even after a crossfire/sli patch comes out), im running an HD5850 and it runs fine at max serttings, i got lag once for a split second and that was during a cut scene, he should be fine with a 6870.

I know you already payed but I went to Ibuypower who also builds pc's and specced this out...

its 50 dollars more with same GPU but the Processor is substantially more powerful than the phenom II's. If you could have done a little more investigating you could have figured out that the second generation Intel i5 and i7 are leaving AMD seriously in the dust, even the first generation are a bit stronger and this is coming from someone who just passed a Phenom II 965 that I had at 3.8ghz to my sons computer.
