3000$ Computer

Hello

Can someone give me some suggestions for a computer with my budget around 3000$? IF it is possible, I would like it to be able to run Crysis Warhead or whatever the game is called, but in very good graphics.

Stuff that I want it to have: Liquid cooling for cpu, chipset & Video card [Only if this is necessary] If you find something that is cheaper and doesn't perform that bad, you can show me that.
+ Monitor.

Basically a computer that can handle anything out there.

So if there isn't any big difference with LC and Air, then go with air.
Just give me some suggestions. Cause I want a computer that can handle "all" games with full graphics and HIGH frames per second / no lag at all.

I want it to be able to handle Crysis. Does that mean it wont handle the other 90% games that well?

I want a monitor with a 22" or 24" display. I don't know what resolution, but maybe 1920x1200?
What do u suggest for resolution?

And contiune :D

your monitor will decide your resolution.

a 22" will have 1600 x 1200, 24" will have 1900 x 1200 and a 30" will have 2560 x 1600.

you pick your gpu based on your resolution.

what gpu you need for 1600 x 1200 is different then what you need at 1900 x 1200.

now what I said was the the pc will blow away 90% of the games out there, it will eat them for snack, but crysis is different then 90% of the games out there.

to build a pc that will run 90% of the games out there at the highest settings is a different build than building a pc that will run crysis with ease.

they crysis pc will cost more.

so my questions to you are these:

1. do you want to build a pc that handles 90% of the games out there easily or do you want to build a pc that will handle crysis?

2. what resolution are you going to be playing at?

for 1900x1200

now for 1600 x 1200 take the above builds and for Nvidia change the gpu to 1 x 275, for ati change the gpu to 5850.

for crysis, at 1600 x 1200 go with 1 x 5970, for 1900 x 1200 go with 2 x 5970

I'm not great with monitors but when shopping for a monitor look for a monitor that has the same Viewing Angle, both vertical and horizontal, and above 170°, this is a sign that you got a quality panel with that monitor and picture quality should be great with a quality monitor.

So is the Samsung 22" Gaming performance one good?

buy your monitor at newegg or places like that so you save money.

its alwasy best to play at your monitor's native resolution.

yes you can play at a lower res, but then why pay for a 24" so you can play like you have a 22"?

And again, if you play at this native resolution, it will give the best frames or performance?

yes your 17" laptop navitve resolution is 1920 x 1200, baesed on 1920 x 1200 is what we configured your gpu so that you get the best peformance you can at that res.

like I said the configs I gave you at 1920 x 1200 will give you 50 to 60 fps in most games.

crysis like I said will be a different story.

Ambidex your eyes can't tell the difference between 60 fps and 200 fps.

so nobody needs 200 fps cause you won't notice the other 140 fps if you killed yourself.

50 to 60 fps is all you need above that you can't tell the difference.

Even with the best system out there, there's no guarantee you won't have lag to some degree.  Server latency and other player's high pings can weigh in on your experience. 

You've stated when a lot of people get into the game and make the frame rates drop.  That can be a result of high pings, server latency, that cause others to see drops in there FPS.  The best system cannot guarantee you 100% stability on any server.  

You'll definitely be able to get that here.  It just sucks when you're going along fine on a good sever and then a few high pingers get in with you and everybody's game goes to crap.

Ok when you mean room for gpu power grom. You mean I should make the GPU better on the build?

Yes that makes sence, and I understand. Thank you. :)
Anything else I can upgrade before I order? :P
RAM?
Motherboard?

mobo?
ssd?
I don't understand.

Thanks. SOlid state drive with improve the performance?
And what mobo will do the performance boost? lol
