Ok, just tried Very High, and yep, right about 25 fps steady, so very playable, and graphics look GREAT on Very High!! Crysis pwnd.

Card gets up to about 66c with 100 fan on, which ain't bad for this model. Room for overclocking. I had Vsync on and everything to Very High.

 

I took a bunch of screens but they are 6mbs each, and photobucket only lets you do 1mb at a time. Is there a site I can use to upload them in HD?

turn off vsync and you get better framerate (only turn on vsync when you know the game can run in 60 fps.)

I would pay 50 dollars to not to have to install this bastard again. Thanks for the comments though. I ended up for a pretty amazing rig, considering I'm a n00b. Cool, powerful, quite, functional, and relatively cheap.

Best part of the Acer build is it has card readers and usb on top of the case(about 10 usbs in total, which is great), as well as on the back. I thought that would be a useless feature, but it's great. Also has a headphone jack on the top, so I'm really loving my PC right now. I installed an external sound amplifier and a 5.1 converter with my high end cans, so it's also sounding about as good as it will unless I go top end sound-card.

If I ever build one from scratch, count on the fact that I'm buying the most expensive shit I can find for the case, cooling, power-supply and motherboard.

The latest PC games I've played are Witcher:EE and Fallout 3, both look pretty incredible maxed out on my rig so you might want to go in and at least check it out.

I don't know anything about building, soldering, etc. I wish I did, then I could get a job in the Geek Squad at Best Buy.



Heavens to Murgatoids.

You don't really need to know much these days, most everything snaps together with some screws, I definitely didn't have to do any soldering.

soldering is by far something you will never need to know unless you join an overclocking team.

Excellent advice, thank you sir. I am now getting a steady 25-35 framerate under any lighting on very high, playing crysis. Good lord.

Man I know that feeling of building a PC despite not really knowing what you're doing. I Did it this past fall, and with great results. Once you get it all setup to your liking you get a real sense of achievement. At least I did.

Anyways, nice computer, and good luck with it. Consider getting left4dead if you're into team-based co-op.
