Best Hardware For A Gaming System

[Elite Knight]

I want to make a gaming system here the games i want to run extreamly well i want COD 4 to run without and lag on highest settings Crysis on highest settings with out any lag emulations like Gamecube Ps2 Xbox ect lets just say i want a Very fast system heres what the range i want it in.

Ram: 4GB ddr2 but what mzh
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 8800GTS 512 or 712mb i dont need help with video card
Prossesor: I want to know the best gaming prossesor at this moment i have no clue what it is and with the higest gzh
MotherBoard: Same as prossesor want to know the best one at this moment

I would love it so much if some one could help me.

Rather provide a budget and let the guys here assemble a kicka$$ system for that budget.
Afterall the best is expensive as hell.....

Crysis on highest settings?? I don't think even a 8800 Ultra can run this smoothly, so unless you get SLI you can't run Crysis on highest settings without lagging.

[windows314]

yeah but call of duty 4 will run great but i recomend you a better gpu

[3x3cUt0r]

CoD 4 runs great even on a 8800 GTS 320.

You are almost describing my PC. Hmm... here are the specs for starters:

CPU: Intel Xeon X3350/Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 3.80GHz STABLE (almost the only one out there that is right now)
RAM: 4GB DDR2 950MHz dual-channel. Or 1140MHz dual-channel if you don't mind upping the vDimm
VGA: nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 512 OCed.
Mobo: Doesn't matter? Anything that can house this much power is decent enough. Unless you want to go for something even stronger for... any reason at all?

Sincerely, Crysis has a hard time lagging on this rig. And anyway, if you want to build this entire thing yourself, it'll cost around $1500-1600 for just the components alone... and then you need tools and stuffs to slightly modify a few things to make them work flawlessly like this. This thing has taken me over a month to build, and the processor has taken me a week to calibrate. But what the hey? If you want the absolute best, spend $2000, and you can replace the 8800GTS 512 with the 9800GX2. I guarantee you that on a rig like this, the 9800GX2 will not falter.

P.S.: Or you can think about purchasing my rig. But be aware, Phil wants to buy something from me as well.

That seems good so. But mother board still havent though what to get. ASUS P5E-VM HDMI looks good i'l do a little resurch on mother boards. Still any one who has some suggestions please tell me. Runawayprisoner your mother board is good it had 1080p HD tech and it's arround 130$ to 200$ isent it if so i might get that board.

[Fadingz]

If you have unlimited budget...QX9770 with Asus X48 mobo P5E3 Premium
(they cost like 1,700 or 1,800 together)

and get Dominator DDR3 for RAM

The board is not that important since the graphics card itself already supports over HD 1080p resolutions. I'm only selling the board because it can handle this chip so friggin' well compared to all others. Can you imagine... I'm almost holding the world record of X3350 OCing with this board? And it's only $2000 for the rig (with an Antec 900 case, some lasers, and a 9800GX2 with it). If you choose to go for the strongest processor, it's only at 3.2GHz stock, and it costs you $1500 already.

not even the 9800GX2 can run Crysis on highest settings at good FPS.

and i don't think 2 ultras on SLI can either.

we're going to have to wait till nvidia makes some better GPUs to be able to run Crysis on that setting.

[runawayprisoner]

Crysis seems to be capped at 20-30fps, thus why anything in those ranges run really smooth. Anything above 30fps is just insanely fast...
Sincerely. If you can try it, you'll see. ;D

[cottonvibes]

i've gotten over 60 fps in some parts in crysis.
i don't think its capped at 30fps

[3x3cUt0r]

Crysis isn't capped, but the motion blur makes it look smooth at low fps.

[runawayprisoner]

Nah, that's with Motion Blur turned off. I think I meant to say that... Crysis was designed with 20-30fps in mind, and not 40 or 50fps in mind. I tried to limit fps with fraps (yeah, just capture a video), and supposedly, at the same fps, very high runs... quite a bit slower than high (motion blur off). And that's with constant 30fps all the time.

And no, that was with the 8800GTS G92. My 9600GT can't handle Very High 30fps constant.
