Hi guys my brother is currently looking to build himself a pc. He mainly use the pc for 3d rendering (cinema 4d) and photoshop and he would like the pc to play crysis. he already has a case, os and monitor no need to put any keyboard or mice in the spec and the budget is £550.

and he wants it by friday.

edit: no need for psu either he has a 520w corsair

When you say Crysis.........then not for £550

Well not better than 1280x800.

i think it can be possible. its mainly for 3d rendering i think his monitor is 1280x1024

This what i have come up with:

Q6600
Asus p5k-e
Ocz 2gb RAM
8800 GT
Samsung SATA DVD+RW
Zalman 9700
Samsung Spinpoint 320 gb

This costs £565

Okay, so i think

That 3870 will **** on anything at 1280x1024. I should know, i have it.

may aswell step up to an 8800GT, but by all means the 3870 is a fine card.

that should be fine, get 4gb of the pc6400 ram @ £22 exc vat (2x1gb sticks) insteaed of that ram.

it won't get very high settings on crysis as nothing can but you will be able to run it on medium/high at that res
