I just built my new PC (got the video card today). Here are the specs of my upgrade:
- Quad core AMD 2.5 Ghz (black addition, so it's unlocked for overclocking)
- 4 Gig of ram
- Fast 500 Gig HD
- 450+650 Was PSU (the 650 is just for video cards)
- ATI 4850
- Biostar Mobo, that was free with the CPU
I had everything else, including a 30" dell that does 2560x1600.
I spent a total of $750 for the upgrade, put it all together with no issues at all. This thing is crazy fast! I can run Crysis at 1200x800 4xAA with everything on High, and it's smooth as silk. I pumped it up to 2560x1600 just to see if it would puke, and it still ran at what looked like 10 fps. It ran smother then my old setup did with everything on low at 800x600.
With this rig, I will probably only return to consoles when exclusives come out (like Gears 2, FFXIII, and LBP).
I now have a ton of games I need to get for my PC. It's like a new console just launched! :)
