what should go in my gaming rig?

Question by Taylor: what should go in my gaming rig?
I have been out of the PC Gaming world for about 6 years now so many things have changed. I am tired of console gaming and want buy a real nice gaming rig. I am looking at a budget of around $ 1500. What would you put in it? The only things i know for sure is that I want it to be Intel and I want the option of having dual graphic cards. Just tower no monitor.

Answer by Turkey
I did a little looking, found some components that are pretty high end. Many are top of the line and cheaper, slightly less capable parts could be chosen instead. Others are just personal preference, such as the tower or if you want Blu-Ray or an audio card.

Full Tower: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103010

Mid Tower: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146028

Dual Core: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115054

RAM (optional to add 8gb): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227405

Hard Drive (1Tb is a lot, but you could add more): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284

Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189022

Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136155

As I said, you can completely customize the parts you want. I didn't include a floppy drive, audio card, wireless card, etc. If you do a little research you can figure out what other components you might want to add. You mentioned the possible desire for SLI, which will increase your gaming power, but nVidia will probably be releasing their newest card this fall which promises to be leaps ahead of current cards. In case you didn't notice, I did most of my searching on Newegg, which usually has great prices and service. TigerDirect also has good deals. Make sure the monitor is worthy of the video card, at least a 1440x900 resolution. Aftermarket cooling devices might be a good idea for you to check out as well.

Best answer:

Answer by Dan
After taking a look at the specs needed (see below) it looks like you should probably have another gig of RAM. Your bottleneck, though is clearly your onboard video. You need a new graphics card. That would seem to support what you said about the choppy video. did you have a slow frame rate and see artifacts when playing? Keep in mind that if you upgrade your video card it is quite possible you will need to upgrade your power supply unit as well. Also, ensure that your motherboard is compatible with your new video card.

Well here are the recommended and minimum required specs:
Supported OS: Windows XP / Vista (only)

Processor: Dual core processor 2.6 GHz Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or better recommended)

RAM: 2 GB (3 GB recommended)

Video Card: 256 MB DirectX 10.0-compliant video card or DirectX 9.0-compliant card with Shader Model 3.0 or higher (512 MB video card recommended) (see supported list)*

Sound Card: DirectX 9.0 or 10.0 compliant sound card (5.1 sound card recommended)

DirectX Version: DirectX 10.0 libraries (included on disc)

DVD-ROM: DVD-ROM dual-layer drive

Hard Drive Space: 12 GB

Peripherals Supported: Keyboard, mouse, optional controller (Xbox 360 Controller for Windows recommended)


*Supported Video Cards at Time of Release:
ATI RADEON X1300-1950 / HD 2000 / 3000 series
NVIDIA GeForce 6600-6800 / 7 / 8 / 9 series

To put this into some kind of perspective, here are the official minimum spec requirements for Crysis that were published:

Minimum for both XP and Vista:

CPU - 2.8GHz for XP, 3.2GHz for Vista

RAM - 1.0GB for XP, 1.5GB for Vista

GPU - 256MB, DirectX 9.0c compliant. Supported chipsets: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or greater. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Integrated chipsets are not supported. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required

Sound Card - DirectX 9.0c compatible

HDD - 12GB

I want to make sure my computer is ready for Crysis 2. Here is my rig--- my processor is an intel core 2 duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66 GH. I have 4.00 GB of RAM. My system type is a 32-bit operating system.

Best answer:

Answer by lukekk_one
Remember Crysistek is good at running their games on low-end systems also.
Also you didn't include your motherboard type.
however this is what I'd do:
If you can, upgrade to 64 bit.
Get the best processor your motherboard can fit. Again, you didn't say which one you have.
If your motherboard can run SLI, get another one of those 260s.
get cooling fans if you can fit anymore.

Finally get a new power supply for all those new shiny parts.

Surely a few is the antonym of a lot. How many is in a lot then.
The answer I think is arbitrary, If there was a room with 10 people 3 or 4 might be classed as a few.
A venue with 100,000 people a hundred might be classed as a few. Does there need to be an exact number. That question crops up a lot. How many would you say is in a few.

They are desperately trying to figure out how to sell a new product called Febreze, on track to be one of the biggest flops in company history. Suddenly, one of them detects a nearly imperceptible pattern—and with a slight shift in advertising, Febreze goes on to earn a billion dollars a year.
 
An untested CEO takes over one of the largest companies in America. His first order of business is attacking a single pattern among his employees—how they approach worker safety—and soon the firm, Alcoa, becomes the top performer in the Dow Jones.
 
What do all these people have in common? They achieved success by focusing on the patterns that shape every aspect of our lives.
 
They succeeded by transforming habits.
 
In The Power of Habit, award-winning New York Times business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation.
 
Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation’s largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death.
 
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work.
 
Habits aren’t destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

A Q&A with Author Charles Duhigg

What sparked your interest in habits?
I first became interested in the science of habits eight years ago, as a newspaper reporter in Baghdad, when I heard about an army major conducting an experiment in a small town named Kufa.

The major had analyzed videotapes of riots and had found that violence was often preceded by a crowd of Iraqis gathering in a plaza and, over the course of hours, growing in size. Food vendors would show up, as well as spectators. Then, someone would throw a rock or a bottle.

When the major met with Kufa’s mayor, he made an odd request: Could they keep food vendors out of the plazas? Sure, the mayor said. A few weeks later, a small crowd gathered near the Great Mosque of Kufa. It grew in size. Some people started chanting angry slogans. At dusk, the crowd started getting restless and hungry. People looked for the kebab sellers normally filling the plaza, but there were none to be found. The spectators left. The chanters became dispirited. By 8 p.m., everyone was gone.

I asked the major how he had figured out that removing food vendors would change peoples' behavior.

The U.S. military, he told me, is one of the biggest habit-formation experiments in history. “Understanding habits is the most important thing I’ve learned in the army,” he said. By the time I got back to the U.S., I was hooked on the topic.

How have your own habits changed as a result of writing this book?
Since starting work on this book, I've lost about 30 pounds, I run every other morning (I'm training for the NY Marathon later this year), and I'm much more productive. And the reason why is because I've learned to diagnose my habits, and how to change them.

Take, for instance, a bad habit I had of eating a cookie every afternoon. By learning how to analyze my habit, I figured out that the reason I walked to the cafeteria each day wasn't because I was craving a chocolate chip cookie. It was because I was craving socialization, the company of talking to my colleagues while munching. That was the habit's real reward. And the cue for my behavior - the trigger that caused me to automatically stand up and wander to the cafeteria, was a certain time of day.

So, I reconstructed the habit: now, at about 3:30 each day, I absentmindedly stand up from my desk, look around for someone to talk with, and then gossip for about 10 minutes. I don't even think about it at this point. It's automatic. It's a habit. I haven't had a cookie in six months.

What was the most surprising use of habits that you uncovered?
The most surprising thing I've learned is how companies use the science of habit formation to study - and influence - what we buy.

Take, for example, Target, the giant retailer. Target collects all kinds of data on every shopper it can, including whether you’re married and have kids, which part of town you live in, how much money you earn, if you've moved recently, the websites you visit. And with that information, it tries to diagnose each consumer’s unique, individual habits.

Why? Because Target knows that there are these certain moments when our habits become flexible. When we buy a new house, for instance, or get married or have a baby, our shopping habits are in flux. A well-timed coupon or advertisement can convince us to buy in a whole new way. But figuring out when someone is buying a house or getting married or having a baby is tough. And if you send the advertisement after the wedding or the baby arrives, it’s usually too late.

So Target studies our habits to see if they can predict major life events. And the company is very, very successful. Oftentimes, they know what is going on in someone's life better than that person's parents.
