Crysis 3 minimum requirements.

From what I can tell, the game is strictly DirectX 11. Thus, this leaves XP out of the picture.

My 7950 is ready.

If you already have more than one hard drive it should be as simple as replacing one letter.

when an installer asks you where to install it'll say something like "c:\program files\publisher\program" if you change the c:\ to what ever your second drive letter is and it'll install on your second drive

Well...I still need to order it.

Planning on getting the 670 FTW Edition by EVGA or the MSI 670 Power Edition.

From what I understand they are just as good as the 680 on non PhysX games.


And of course the Asus Matrix edition is pretty big and shiny lol...

Hurr

Wargamer, I'd get the 7970.
Better at higher resolutions, on par with the 670/better performance with some games (same applies to the 670) but you also get 4 free games.
Benchmarks
An OC'd 7970 will perform better, obviously.

That ASUS Matrix just looks like your standard Direct CU II card with the ROG logo slapped on.

"I actually don't hold a grudge against someone talking trash about me if they're shot afterwards, I try to rise above that "

Gordon Freeman, Freeman's Mind

I was thinking of getting into PC gaming and someone suggested I try this:

Case - Cooler Master Elite 430
This

Ram - Corsair Memory Vengeance Jet Black Low Profile 8GB
This

Hard Drive - Seagate 500Gb 3.5" Barracuda Hard Drive 7200rpm
This

DVD Drive - Labelflash dvdrw Pioneer
This

Intel CPU Core i5 3570K Quad Core IvyBridge Processor
This

Motherboard - MSI Z77A-G45 Intel Z77
This

Graphics Card - XFX Core Edition Radeon HD 7850
This

Power Supply - Antec High Current Gamer 520W PSU
This

Since I have no experience of the insides of a computer, is this a good build for less than £600 ($966)?

I can take care of the building part, and I know this excludes an OS, but I'd probably have Windows 7.

Alright flood, give me the best $1000 build you got.
I want intel/nvidia, 8 gigs of RAM, and a 1tb Hard drive. Do take into account sales that may happen this month.
I may make a post like this again if I don't order any parts by the end of the month.
Go.

YUP, thats why I love it!

Pretty good $1000 build right here. Now Wargamer is going to kick my ass with a build half the price. I never was good at going on a budget...

Here you go: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qMVK

And so you're aware, the 7950 is a lot better than the 660ti. At the moment AMD is a much better choice than Nvidia when it comes to video cards.

What do you think high performance means on the Crysis 3 website? I'm wondering how our 7970s will fare. Also, I wonder why they're recommending i7s...
