I am unsure of your budget.
Please explain so I can find you a decent computer, but this is a beast computer that will max out all games for a while.
Unfortunately it's priced at 850 and more for shipping.
That's why I want to know your budget.

Maxing out games is a waste of money.

There's a reason for the "free" stuff. It's because they know it's not actually worth the price they have it listed as, so to add value, they throw in some programs and call it free. It'll be more expensive on the iBuyPower website than it will be in other places because of this "free" stuff.

Ok. Well, I think I know what type of computer I want.

I'm wanting a computer that can run Crysis 2 with good FPS on at least Medium graphics for around 700 dollars.

Thats probably unrealistic, but any help would be great :)

A poor port from console to PC, it'll stress most systems to the max.

im confused.
Is that in the code what I should use to build?
If so, could you tell me the computer that you started out with?

Or something along those lines.

All right.
Thanks Ethan :)

Wow. Holy stuff.

Just realised that I can play all the game they have on Ultra.

I couldnt even do that on the 1,500 dollar computer I made.








I love you.
