My PC hit the fan, keeps breaking down and im having to replace parts- getting sick off it.


Im looking for a prebuild pc from newegg, tigerdirect, cyberpowerpc, ibuypower, anything that comes with a warranty and a Windows 7 license in the $600-$800 price range.

I need it to be able to handle games like Crysis, Star Trek Online, SWOKOTR Etc; and watch some movies, it doesn't need to be max specs, middle-high is just fine.


Thank you

and investigated myself and came up with

2 of my last 3 PC's have been Cyper Power they are fine you know you can get good customization deals straight from there sight instead of going through a reseller and get free shipping etc

Video card on that particular computer is very low in the quality scale. GTS250, or 9800GTX+ if you go Nvidia, should be your aiming spot for good/affordable. Nothing you can get in that price range will actually run Crysis at the high end, so that shouldn't be a consideration....

The sweet spot for ATI/AMD cards now are the 4850s, 4870s, or 4890s, though some like the new 5770. I'm not that keen on it myself though. Video card and ram prices are kinda high right now, but the AMD processor will do the job affordably.

At the resolution of that monitor, any card higher up in power will really not help much, other than adding more AA power.

I would compare the Newegg versions with the same sort direct from source. They vary as to which can be the better deal, but as it was mentioned, you get more customization going direct.
