Answer by Jessica
That comp will run EVERYTHING maxed out. One thing though – why not get an SSD drive or 2 hard drives to run raid (So they perform better)? if you go all out, might as well get the best. You’ll notice a BIG routine difference with raid / ssd.

Answer by Proto
We’re not worthy! We’re not worthy!

Yeah, that’s a godlike making a bet rig…. complete heavy-handedness for simple games like those, which can run maxed on hardware half as powerful. This machine can plow through intense titles like Far Weep 2 and Just Produce 2.

The only minor things I’d change:

1) Sony OptiArcs are the most problematic DVD burners out there. Go with a Samsung, LG, Lite-On, anything else.

2) The Soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty is heavy-handedness if you’re not doing audio recording… just extra money spent with marginal benefit over the motherboard audio.

Chose,
You should get 2 Black Caviar 1Tb in raid (will be quicker than most SSD).

I’m building about the same rig (i saved a bit by going with a HD5850 1Gb and a excellent 650Watts PSU instead..)

PS: I’d also get some RAM if i were you.. loll
