well im willing to take the risk because im desperate for a computer and im asian and stereo types meet this situation "asians are cheap" true right now so yeah...
Edit: 0m3g4Muff1n987 i suppose ill be using it for a little bit of gaming but i dont expect an extremely good graphics card, just one that will be able to play crysis or crisis w/e with reasonable graphics maybe a Nvidia Gforce 7500 card

Crysis is pretty even on the lowest settings. No problem there. But I forgot you're looking at a desktop, which lowers the price a LOT. Heck, I was just on ibuypower today and found a sub-$700 with pretty good parts, and I think an 8800GT.cryticfarm wrote:Can he run crysis and make it looks pretty though?super_man916 wrote:actualy my cousin just bought a computer to his stats and his was like 690 and he had great graphics but most his parts were retailed and i also made an HP computer yeah yeah HP's are kinda bad but its got all the parts and it comes out with some good parts $664ishGametagAeonFlux wrote:Spoilers: You're not going to be able to run Crysis on a $730 computer, even with everything on Low.

The RAM is gonna destroy you. You got the smae slots I got and they're roughly 40 bucks a Gig. Your HD Can stay, but for sure the card has to go. Theres a great site for a lot of the parts you need,
www.techbargains.com
It can find every deal by online vendors and also stores like BestBuy, CompUSA, etc.

If you are looking to get a computer for under $700 go to www.IbuyPower.com It's probably one of the best places to get a decent gaming computer of your choices. I got mine from there 4 years ago, and it's still running strong. It cost me about $600. I only updated it to play the latest games. Other than that it could run everything, I ran Crysis on medium with it.
