    Posted: 04 May 2009 at 11:25pm
I've been following these forums for a while now after deciding that I'm going to let DS build my next computer in around a month or 2.. I woundn't mind playing Crysis and my older games like HF2 and so on will probably have to trouble playing on this new system.. But since Starcraft 2 is coming out and my old POS dell xps died like forever ago its time to get a new comp.. Here is my build 277457 Any advice would be helpful as I have kinda been out of computer gaming for a while, consoles took over for a bit.

I also have some questions some might be dumb but from what i've seen you guys are DSO seem to please customers with other requests.

1. I would like LC so my CPU can run cooler and be overclocked but I don't want to be in the 4.0 to 4.2 Ghz.. 3.5-3.9 would be fine.. I was just curious cause i saw under the overclock tab that you now offer 2 stages..

2. My buddy has a Coolermaster Cosmos S case and i was just wondering if you guys accommodate that kind of request?

3. I have 1 GTX 275 can it somewhat play crysis in 1900x1200? I'll get another to do SLI down the road when i think i'll need it.

4. I'm 6.3 189lbs and all t-shirts L and XL are always different, so i was just wondering what size since you guys know how they fit..

Thanks for you time.. Steve

1. just pick LC on CPU and choose stage one OC option and you are good to go

2. you can request any part you like, but the HAF has better cooling and costs less, however if you want the cosmos s then get it, just request it, it cost a bit more then what you would pay from newegg but that is how customizing your PC goes

3. 1 x 275 GTX running crysis warhead at 1900 x 1200:



as you see 2 might be a better idea for that resolution.

4. to be honest I'm just a customer like you, ultimately you have to call them to make requests and order, when you do mention the tshirt size question
