Six thousand is insane.

To give an indication of exactly how insane: I had difficulties configuring a PC with that figure on the Dell/Alienware (notoriously expensive for what you get) website without adding absolutely rediculous options. :lol:
 
Dunno if he's running BF3 at max with a GT640 unless he's running at 800x600 or something :lol:
 
Just to make it clear for you; NVIDIA GTX series is made for demanding HD gaming, while NVIDIA GT series is made for basic gaming and casual use. So if you really want to enjoy BF3, Skyrim or any other demanding game, don't look for NVIDIA GT series GPUs.

Ill need nvidia gtx ?
 
A GTX 660 would run BF3 pretty well and is a fairly good price (around 230 USD if I remember right).
 
Is i7-2600 oc gtx590. Good or bad ? Can i change it ? I found a use alienware, everything is good but i wonder about this thing..
 
The second gen i7 is going to be slower at virtually everything compared to a third gen. The GTX590 is old tech now, too, and the reviews I quickly looked at aren't filling me with confidence. Personally I'd skip both of them.

And why the change from a $6000 beast of a system to looking at old, used machines?

I trying to find a nice gaming pc, i just found one at future shop ill buy it tomorow

I7-3770 ivy bridge
16g ram
Nvidia gt 640 3g graphic card
2tb hard drive

This for 957$, i think it worth it ?

And witch is the better for gaming ? Windows 7 or 8 ? My brother told me that 7 is better because 8 is originaly made for touch screens.
 
GT series graphics card and more RAM than any game needs right now. Who keeps making this crap to sell as a gaming PC? I'd skip it if I were you, unless you're willing to spend even more on buying a GTX 660Ti.

Edit: there's technically very little difference between Windows 7 and 8 for gaming but personally I'd go with 7 if you want to play older games. It's been around longer so fixes and workarounds to get old games working are better documented, the fact that 8 exclusively has DX 11.1 isn't a particularly big deal. That's just how I see it.
 
I haven't had an issue with Win8 for gaming but keep in mind I only built my PC last week and put Win8 on it last Thursday.
 
Can my computer run software such as after effects? My spec are a few pages back.
What's better value for money the Asus Nvidia GTX660 ti or just the normal 660?
