Heh yeah i know pretty strange topic title but anyways i like to play RTS games like rome total war and medieval total war but i also love games like Far Cry,Crysis etc but i dont really know how a pc operates while playing a game performance etc so heres what i want my new pc to do for the total war games i would like to be able to have it on MAX settings with 5,000~10,000 troops on screen with no lag (including fire,weather tons of arrows etc) and for crysis id like to atleast run it on low.. im thinking of spending 500~1000 USD so if anyone has some ideas please reply with your thoughts ive already got a monitor and not sure if im going for windows vista yet :wacko:

CPU: Core 2 Duo E6750
PSU: ~650W trusted brand PSU manufacture. I like Antec.
Video card: Nvidia 8800GT
RAM: 2GB DDR2 high performance gaming RAM
HD: 7,200RPM ~250GB or so

PS: This will be able to run Crysis on high and should be around $1,000. I would look up all of the parts on Newegg for you and give you all of the links and prices and stuff but I am too tired. I will try tomorrow.

Not really, it all depends on the resolution the game is being played at and what a person considers playable.

I would recommend THIS case because its the cheapest and best looking full tower on newegg, or get the ANTEC 900 which is a pretty good gaming case that comes watercool ready with holes and everything.
