Going to have to disagree. The 550Ti and the 6850 (I know you didn't mention) are great 160 sub cards. Biggest bang for the littlest buck. Info based on this review:

Pretty awesome frame rates for 150


"We’ve benched this title at the lowest ‘gamer’ detail setting" That is the part that i take away from that though. The OP mention wanting to play on high settings. I did mention the 6850 though(towards the end), I like that card much better and in fact picked the 6870(there was a free upgrade form the 6850) in the build i suggested from cyberpowerPC. Though, only because the geforce 560 would have put the build at $920, which was more then he said he wanted to spend.
so will this pc be able to handle crysis 2 pretty well on max or high settings and run smoothly? will it also support games for the next 2 or 3 years mayby?

Man, I'm playing crysis 2 on Core 2 Duo & 8800gt on lowest settings with no AA or AF 1920x1080.
I get average 45 fps and zero lag. Anything better than that will play it just fine.

If you want to play it on highest, I recommend radeon hd 5870.

OP it's ok but I wouldnt buy it. For starters its an LGA 1155 socket and if I remember correctly I dont think you would ever be able to upgrade to an i7, I think all of them use a LGA 1366 socket. I just dont see the point of buying an intel based motherboard if its not running i7 especially buying it new. I would suggest trying to find the same pc but one that supports LGA 1366 sockets, they probably have one. Even if you have to save up another hundred or two it will be worth it.

The two most important things in a pc is the power supply and motherboard. Get one that supports i7 procs, you wont regret it.

i dont even know what that means man, i wish i did

Processors go into sockets. i7's, i5's have different sockets. Call dell and ask them if they have that exact same pc but one that supports i7 processors. I mean if your going to buy a new system get the newest processors with it.
Also when you call dell ask them what the amperage is on the 12v rails (thats what you need to run good video cards, usually in an off the shelf pc they put psu's in that barely meet the minimum requirements). These are really important things to check on when buying a pc. Sure its 700 watts sounds impressive but do your homework and see what brand it is and what the 12v rails produce.
Like I said the two most important parts of any pc are the --------------> POWER SUPPLY AND MOTHERBOARD!!!

wait are you referring to the pc patmage built or the one i suggested at the begging of my topic?

The one at the beginning, sorry did you list something else later in the thread I must have missed it. If your on a 900 budget then its probably not a bad pc. For 900 bucks though you could build a better one. I could go down to frys right now and pick out the parts. Only thing that svcks with building your own on a budget though is you also have to go out and buy a copy of windows for it : (

here is the pc that patmage built and suggested to me(link wont work, but its on pg 3 post by patmage he says "you might wanna check this out" then theres a link. i would say it looks awesome but i cant cause i just do not know...lol but what do you think? does it look good?
????/????

What would the equivalent be of that video card for radeon?

Jckeen123, Did you get my PM?

For 955 US dollars:

AMD Phenom X4 II 975 AM3 3.6Ghz Procesor
MSI 890FXA GD-70 AM3 Motherboard with USB 3.0 and SATA 6GB
Crusial Balistix 4GB (2x2) DDR3-1600 CL8 Memory with Heatsink and temprature sensors
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB Harddrive
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD6870 1GB PCIe 2.1 Videocard
Cooler Master Silent Pro M700 700 Watt Modular Powersuply
Samsung SH-S223A DVD-Burner
Rosewill Challenger Black ATX Gaming Compueter Case (includes 3 casefans)
Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium

For more details please check your PM mate, i can cut the price to below 900 USA dollars by swapping some parts for cheaper, lower spec alternatives, but the above list is what i would buy today.

WOW **** specs. I can build him a pc for LESS than 900 bucks. We're already gonna do it.

900 bucks is retarded. He can build a pc HALF that price for cheap.

What a rip off.

The only thing i don't like about that system from a brief look over is the graphics card. The geforce 550 is a fairly weak card for the $150 price range it sits in.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4221/nvidias-gtx-550-ti-coming-up-short-at-150/5 is a review from anandtech. They didn't do crysis 2 or black ops, but you can get an idea of how the 550 will probably do. A lot of it is going to depend on what resolution you game at. At 1680x1050 it might be ok, but at 1920x1200 it is going to struggle. For $100 more the geforce 560 is a much better card. If you can find a CyberpowerPC with a 6850 instead it would be much better as well. The 6850 retails for about 30 dollars more then the 550, but does much better in most benchmarks.

Agreed a 550 won't run it very well. But black ops... that should run on a GPU powered by a mouse in a wheel it's so danm ugly. Please don't mention COD in the same sentence as Crysis 2 ever again. Makes me sick.
