If you need help building a computer or advice on parts.

You would need a different motherboard that supported a socket type that can handled the I5 or I7 if you wanted to go that route. The motherboard wasn't the limiting factor the processor was. By the time you did that the price would be over my build anyway.

The build I posted should run Crysis just fine (along with other games). Maybe not Maxed however.

The only thing my build probably needs to max 90% of games out there is a GPU upgrade, but even then for a budget PC it's probably not worth it. The GPU i have linked to in that handles itself very well already. You can always do this in the future if you needed to(years down the road.)

Alright, So I will just save up ALOT OF MOLA =D! And get this tower in maybe 2 months. I want to play PSO2...really badly. Just keep in mind, when my boss gives me his tower, I will show you pictures and tell me the pros and cons. His tower is pretty massive from what he tells me.

It should work but yea, post some photos.

He just told me right now, it's a full tower.......A FULL!. Talk about expandable.

Free is free.

A full tower is fine as long as you don't do a lot of LAN parties. They are hard to move around.

$209.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115067 CPU I5 2.8GHZ

Notes.
1. This is probably not the absolute 100% cheapest system to run PSO-2 However I wanted to overshoot a bit to make sure you would definitely run it. If you wanted it cheaper than this we could lower the mobo and the CPU back to the PRE I5/7 days models. This MIGHT shave $100 if we are lucky

2. The 6850 Graphics card in this system is really nice. http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon...6870-review/16 AMD is on their A-Game when it comes to price vs performance!

3. If anyone finds that I missed anything in this build PLEASE tell me.

4. You could play with this system a bit to customize it. Change your case, add a harddrive, ect. I wouldn't change the MOBO/CPU/RAM unless you know what you are doing.

Just curious, if I were to lower the MOBO and the CPU, how much could I save? Also could it still run the game well? I know you are saying how much, but I just want to be sure P:

Switch the mobo and ram with this.
Mobo 42.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813157173 $22 in savings
RAM 44.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148160 $17 EXTRA don't ask why...

Chose one of these. The 72.99 one will be *OK* as long as you run NOTHING else with the game. It may bottle neck a bit but the game will play. The 2nd one is just fine for anything, I own a gaming PC with that exact CPU. The final is quad core instead of dual a buddy of mine owns this and its great.

CPU 72.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116076 $137 Saved
CPU 179.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115037 $30 Saved
CPU 181.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115057 $28 Saved


So depending on the CPU you could save one of the following.

$142 = $436 total with CPU 1
$35 = $543 total with CPU 2
$33 = $545 total with CPU 3

I feel bad asking you to do all these things Dx, but anyway, I got my bosses tower, it looks old, but a tower is just a case, and this tower is BIG. I may just stick with the 577 unless it runs just as well as the the one where I am saving 38 bucks :P

The original I5 build will out perform it.

Alrighty then, I'll just save it up P:.

With These Settings..i can play with the settings on Max Correct? Also i plan on streaming this live so it could run stuff in the back ground right?

And for the CPU is this better? its cheaper then the one you listed
http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0330706

Ill still Get the same PSU..thats cheap AS well as the power supply

And i can Buy this case and use it without problems right
