$653 crysis computer
In PC Gamer this week, Crytek has built its own machine capable of running Crysis, with full effects and all of the bells and whistles, for only $652.99. Can you say win?

Part||---------------------------------------||Cost---- **I would swap it for just the home edition of...vista..damn it.. |
wow... that's awesome. nice find dread
|
Aside from WoW, I don't play pc games, I'm an xbox man.
Am I right in thinking that Crysis is THE most graphicly intensive game on the market at this time? And does that mean that this setup could potentially run ANY pc game around with the setting on flat out? |

This means that you can build a machine that will run any game that uses the Crytek engine including the upcoming MMO, Aion for fairly cheap. Interesting. Too bad I am broke currently as this old beast of mine is in dire need of replacement.

Yes, Very nice indeed.
Computer Hardware is getting exceedingly cheaper. Why you might ask? Well thats very easy, First and foremost, there well ALWAYS be something better. Competition is High in the computer industry. Although Intel and nVidia Seem to be running the show at the moment. Because of this, at "top-of-the-line" PC you built a year ago, would be worth almost half it's value today. Rule #1 In PC building: Wait, Prices Drop Dramatically over weeks in time, not years. Thats my 2 cents. Nice find man! Crytech Engine will rule them all. I can't wait for SC2. |

I wouldn't use a tiny box like that either. Personally, I would go with a Lian Li PC-60 Plus II Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower for around $135.99 USD. Much much better tower for gaming imho.

As for using a micro tower, I agree. I have an Antec P-182 (a monster of a case) and things still tend to get a little warm, despite the amount of room and the number of fans I have in here. I don't think I'd ever cram things into a smaller space. Also, if you get a smaller case the room for expansion is nill. The card I just got (8800 GT) is only about an inch from hitting my hard drive bay due to it's length. And I never thought I'd have that problem in this case :P Third thing, if I ever get Vista I'd never throttle myself with 2G of RAM. Just my two cents :cool: |
It's a decent computer but for another $100.00 you can get a bigger case (with a more powerful PSU), faster CPU, faster video card, bigger HD.
I just quickly pieced one from Newegg.com and it cost $735 .... of course that does not include ant taxes shipping and handling and rebates as well. It it is better and faster than the one above. I also pieced the exact copy in the OP (minus the case and as best as I could considering there is not to much tech info on the parts listed.) at newegg.com and it came out to about $600 (and that includes the price of the OP's listed case.) |
Also, when they say "full effects" they don't mean max settings.

This Crytek Computer will be capable of running Cryisis at 1280x768 Resolution at High Settings. Not maxed out. They also pack it with XP Home SP2. Not this machine wont necessarily run evry game maxed out. But it is good start. High settings on Crysis looks beautiful but they failed to specify what lvl of AA it will be able to run. The following is what they plan to release:
CPU - Intel Core2Duo E6750 GPU - GeForce 8800GT 512MB Motherboard - NVIDIA nForce 650i Socket 775 PSU - 600W ATX12V RAM - 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit HDD - SATA 250GB 7200RPM DVD - 20x DVD±R Burner Case - ATX Midi Tower Computer Case OS - Microsoft Windows XP Home with SP2 at approx $900. That is just the box. No peripherals. Still a very nice machine, but i think i will stick with mine. Intel QX9650 (Quad Core Xtreme 3.0ghz) 4GB Corsair 800mhz Ram Dual 8800GT (SLI) But still a very nice mid-range computer. I guess they got sick of hearing "will my computer run Crysis" To read more about this got to http://kotaku.com/345278/crytek-spec...able-crysis-pc |
Yeah... RAM is so cheap nowadays, 2G isn't that great anymore. My laptop has 2G RAM and Vista Premium and I find myself wishing for improvements.

Yeah sad to say you kinda wasted a ton of money SLI-ing the 8800GTs. Most video cards don't see an improvement unless you quad-SLi it and that's just a waste. But hey, if you have the cash, an extra 10FPS is always nice :)
Most mobo's these days (new ones, not necessarily the best, just the newer ones) support up to 8G of RAM. That makes Graphic Designer's like me drool over the speed of Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator :cool: |
I was thinking about goin 8GB ram but i run XP Pro 32bit so no point. I also have Vista Home Premium also 32bit. I would have to get the 64bit edition and there is no point. And i agree i did waste my money SLi'ing 8800gt's but at the time i wasnt think about that :)

I just parted together a new system from new egg like 2 weeks ago $683.00
Intel Q6600 ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard XFX GeForce 8800 GT PVT88PYDF4 Video Card - Retail GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 800w PSU ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro (CPU Cooler) Artic silver CPU Paste didnt need mem or case since i already had them but the system quality is huge from what i had. AMD 3500 MSI K9n 2gigs buffalo duel channel Zogis nvidia 7950 So for about 700.00 if you have some parts already isnt bad for a huge huge upgrade. i went from 10fps to 60fp and 50 in the city in AOC on high settings mind you the 10fps was on low hehehe |
