Did I get a good deal?
I want to be able to run crysis 2 on pretty good settings and maybe max.
Can you guys reccomend a good graphic card that is not to expensive for this build because I will not be using the prahics card stated above.

Thanks in advance guys.

Have a great day.

 
But it was working fine the first time.

How do I reset the bios?

Also how do I turn off my pc from the bios, I dont see an option to turnoff.

Sorry I guess I had more question. I do appreciate all the help
 
On your mainboard there should be pins for resetting bios settings. Check your mainboard manual. If you cant find it, take out small battery and short out pins for few seconds (with power supply turned off)
