You have a good bit before you want to buy the PC. Just save up another hundred of so dollars and build your own like I did. I tear through Crysis and other games at maximum settings on a $600.00 build.
really? mines was an $800 build (not the one in my sig)
and i only get about 17FPS on the highest settings with AA on in Vista, and about 25fps with the highest settings without AA on XP.
unless you play on a really low resolution monitor.
What are your specs and resolution?
I'm running XP Pro. I'm not a huge fan of Vista. I can run Crysis Warhead on the highest settings. I keep motion blur to mainstream, though. I'm just not a fan of it, haha. I do get very rare hiccups. But, nothing to worry about.
OK, I did my research on video cards, and I want ya'll to show me a list from best to worst (top to bottom) of the following video cards:

I tried to paste this website, but it kept messing up. So I copied letter for letter, number for number to get exactly the right website. But instead, it went to an "imposter" or "copy" website. It will still tell you all the info you need to know though. Try and find this same video card at Dell.com if you want the real website.

I'm not sure about this one... I doesn't have a final price yet without calling them...

A long list, eh?
EDIT: Anybody?
