Build Me a pc

[pwm24]

I been outta the game for building pcs and kinda not familiar with what the best buy anymore but i played crysis at my friends house and i want to build a pc to play it. I know it takes a powerful pc to run crysis but is there anyway i could build a pc for 600 or cheaper that would be able to play cryis on ultra high settings. not including monitor or op system. ive done my research myself and kinda got a system in mind of a little over 600 but just kinda would like to get some second thoughts. if you could just list price and part model and manfu that would be great and pref a evga graph card cuz i like the idea of the upgrade program seeing that nvidia is about to release new chips. thanks any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unless you wait for a few years, you won't be able to get Crysis to play on Ultra high settings for $600. I'll post a build list that would get you the closest possible to playing Crysis at high settings for $600.

Masaki listed good parts for you budget. However, are you able to recycle parts from your last build? Like case or PSU? That may save on costs and you could potentially get better parts.

Or save a bit more (around 1000), and get a more decent build.

Masaki list is probably the way to go. I dont think you are going to play crysis on a $600 computer with everything turned up. But from what I have ready you can play it very well at moderate settings on mid range computers. Right now AMD is probably the way to go on a mid range computer for gaming because they have such competative pricing in that segment. Another option for video card would be the Radion 3870 which could save you a few bucks. I read a review that said it performend quite good with the Crysis game and it has been getting generally very high reviews.
