Crysis on $900 PC

Get work on the OcUK proce Ogs.

However, I reckon a cheaper PSU might have good such as:

Corsair VX 450W ATX PSU (CMPSU-450VXUK) which would knock £12+VAT off the price making it under £600! Since they just say a generic 600W PSU, and they went for the cheapest option around, that one should be good enough.

Thanks

I was just copying for exact the specs that Crytek gave out though (600w PSU)

Still, for £600, youve got a kick ass Computer and a better-than-console gaming rig, all in one .

no monitor though.

Makes me laugh. They 'CHALLENGE US' to go out and spend a grand on a new PC so we can play their game. Good strategy!

A lot of people carry those over from previous rigs.

Except thats the point, for £600 they say you *can* have a PC that will play the game on high. Thats not bad considering how many people say it won't run on any PC.

Rather ironic how many people were loving the game before it came out and now it is, everybody is annoyed it requires a £600 PC.

Yeah, I didn't notice at first that they has specifically said a 600W PSU. I can't see how they would need that much and considering they were going for a real cheap PC, they must have found a very cheap (and rubbish?) 600W rated PSU.

EDIT: The cheapest 600W PSU on the US site they used is US$26!!!! Wow, is that a price difference, and I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
