Title: Anyone good with computer hardware?
Post by: FastFord58 on November 30, 2008, 04:54:12 PM

I'm looking at building a new computer in January but I've been out of the game for some time. I am building a comp with Crysis in mind.

I have about $3000 to spend on just the tower. Any reccomendations?

$3000.00 for a PC and you can build yourself a killer machine. Prices have dropped a lot. You can get terabyte drives for around $100 - $150 nowadays. Also, get a dual layer DVD burner. They have also come down in price.

I suggest looking at Tigerdirect for the core of what you need. They are a Canadian company and have great prices.

Yeah, if you're putting it together yourself, you can go pretty high-end with $3000.  About 3 years ago, I built my current one for $800 and was pretty impressed with it...  today for 3g, You can build a rocket
