My computer is knackered and so instead of fixing it i'm going to get a new base unit but i want a really good one that can play Crysis, only thing is i haven't a clue what sort of spec i need.

I've been looking at the following two, do any of them look any good for the price?

Option 1

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6550 Processor (2.33GHz,1333MHz,4MB cache)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
320GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA/100 Hard Drive with 16MB DataBurst™ cache
256MB NVIIDA® GeForce® 8300GS Turbocache graphics card
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Logitech™ Cordless Desktop™ EX110 - UK/Irish (QWERTY)

£403.01 Shipped

Option 2

AMD® Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium - English
2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
320GB (7200rpm) Serial ATA Hard Drive with 16MB DataBurst™ cache
256MB nVidia™ GeForce 8600GT graphics card
16x DVD +/- RW Drive
Logitech™ Cordless Desktop™ EX110 - UK/Irish (QWERTY)

£414.89

Or if anybody knows of any other good bases around the same prices?

An 8300GS won't play Crysis, so you can forget about the first one. I've got the 7300GT and it's good enough for most games if you don't mind playing on the lower settings but I doubt it will play Crysis.

8600GT would probably be able to run it but not at the highest settings.

Just build one with an 8800GTX and you'll be safe.

It only costs £400.

I'm going to wait until I see some official system requirements before I think about upgrading for it.

That's why i prefer consoles, no need to keep paying all this stupid money to upgrade your pc every couple of months.

£500 for the base unit is probably my limit.

If i upgrade the Intel one to the 256MB nVidia™ GeForce 8600GT graphics card it will cost me a extra £30.

I've been doing the same. You get some brilliant deals for really cheap prices. It's not a scam either. If you're looking for just the tower then it'll be even cheaper.
