    Budget (600-800)Gaming Computer for University

    Thanks! Do you think I really need a $320 video card? My brother just got the 1 gig 5770 for $160 and it is more than capable of what I need. The case I think I'm going to be using is an old alien-ware one It has 4 or 5 fans.

    CHose some parts. Still need help.~

    I recently helped pic out a system from my brother, we went with a 8800gts, E8400, 2 gigs of ram. Runs every game so far(including stalker clear sky and crysis warhead) on maxed settings 1600x1200.

    Crysis Warhead: What are your thoughts about it?

    I liked it- looked and ran ok on low. A little on the short side though. By brother ran it on enthusiast 1600x1200 fine with a E8400, 8800gts (512mb) and 2 gigs of ram
