Just read the Crysis system specs and can't wait for this game! I just wanted everyone's input on whether or not my system will be able to play this on higher settings smoothly. Specifically, at 1680x1050...Any ideas on my chances?

Here is my computer:

what would you guys recommend for a different psu and why do you think I should change it? I got a good deal on it, that's why I did it

PS - pazhman, how do you like your mx518 mouse? I was looking at that and the G5. I have the wireless VX revolution right now
 
The MX518 is way better than the G5. I had both, took the G5 back. The G5 has a scroll wheel issue too. And yes your pc should be more than capable for that resolution.
 
I wont answer until i see a pic of your monitor, mouse and keyboard and your speakers
 
I had one. Read up more reviews and it ripples at high load and people say it's an old out of spec PSU. I picked up a Corsair HX620 and it's much better.

hahahaa, how about my mousepad?

sorry, I'm a web/graphic designer - so the best way to organize everything in my head is to visually map it out. That's the way I had to do it while configuring everything and reading reviews :D
 
yes mousepad too lol

nice rig

i played crysis beta with rig in sig except i had a 8800gts 320 at 1680x1050 with no AA but everything else maxed without issue. same with bioshock and this was on vista 64. I think you'll be ok.
 
Please tell me your joking. I would give a nut for your system and i have the same hopes as you. :D
 
Crysis has been running faster and faster after each Beta update, so I'd say it'll just about fly once it's released in November. :)
 
Yes, different PSU and while the Zalman is nice , its a bit out dated. Thermalright Ultra 120 kiddo ......thats the ticket

Omg that pic is too great for me, reminds me of this thing hugging my thigh :eek: lol. Really, your PC is fine. This is like asking "look at my corvette, is it fast enough?" That's a top of the line PC and the answer is obvious if you even read the Crysis specs you say you did :rolleyes:, "look at my parts!" indeed.
 
Hey...that resembles MY PC! :eek:

Well...generally speaking. I have some different parts but basically at the core they're the the same machine (CPU/mobo/video card are exact same as well as the recommended HSF). :D
 
Looks good to me, the demo comes out on the 26th don't forget, plus that Cevat Yerli dude said Crysis actually runs better in 64bit Vista in the gamespot interview.

THIS. The HX620 is one of, if not, the best PSU's out there.
 
imo if you want 4xAA & 8xAF max settings @ 60fps min~ave, you may have to go sli
 
wow all the hype on the HX620.. if it wasnt so ugly i would have prob bought a few.. but instead i bought 3 zalman heatpipe 600watt psu's and they are the same as the ocz 700 game extreme minus a few resistors and diff gauge wireing.. they have been working flawlessly.. so how can you vouch HX620 is the best psu? cant be best as far as looks.. cant be best as far as total output watts.. as far as playing the game "smoothly" (depends what you call smooth but..) it should be fine with it maxed on quality
 
lol, i wasn't being a wise ass guys - this is my first customized desktop, just looking for input
 
Killster, Why does it matter what your PSU looks like?
Cause im totally going to buy an 8400GS because it looks "cooler" than my 8800 Ultra's

yep pritty mcuh if not the best air cooler going round. look at getting a nice single rail PSU like the silverstone OP700 got 58 amps on 1 rail instead of over 2 or 4+ this will save you alot of problems expecialy in overclocking.
 
I would not have gotten that heatsink. Since it looks like money is no issue, Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is the way to go.
 
if I am not overclocking right away, do you think it will be an issue with what I have? Or is this more or less if I am overcllocking and temperatures need to stay low

well for me it was a issue.. i didnt want ugly red or yellow stickers in my cases.. also the zalman 9700 does look better than the ultra 120mm but i still use a ultra 120 in one of my box's but the majority have 9700 with blue or green led and they overclock and cool great while being quiet..

i do agree on the mobo.. its not the latest and greatest like the other parts but shit it will be fine..

Your PSU may be a problem if:

1. You want to use SLI
2. You want to water cool your setup

The 3rd point to consider is that using high performance parts such as the q6600 and geforce 8800 ultra, they will draw a bit more power from your Power Supply. I wouldn't suggest attempting SLI with that 700 watt PSU, Especially not if water cooling as well.

As it is now, you are within range of the power output of that power supply but if you plan to add future functionality to the computer you may find yourself limited.

And if you haven't already purchased your parts .. like the MSI video card. I would go with EVGA for the stepup program so you can take advantage of the new 9800 series coming out soon.

I just looked into that program quickly...so you buy an 8800 ultra and for a one-time only upgrade, I could get the 9800 when it comes out? No fees???

You pay the difference between what you paid for the 8800, and the price eVGA is selling the 9800 for. And you only have 90 days after you purchase the 8800 to "step up."

ahhh, I see - when is the 9800 coming out and will it be that much nicer? I got the MSI for $580, the eVGA is about $150 more, nto sure if it's worth it - what do you think? Great idea though if I hadn't bought it and the MSI wasn't on sale...

from playing the beta the game is no were near ready yet the beta feels more like a pre-alpha then a beta
