Why don't you post the specs of your computer instead of asking what specs are good?
It doesn't take all that much to run CrossFire.

for decency go with a dual-core 2.8 Ghz CPU 2 GB's ram minimum and an ATI 3000 or 4000 series.

Yeah, try to get the fastest ghz you can get for your money. And for your graphics card you can get a 1g for $55... Any questions add me on any of my insta messengers.

Whats your budget?
Gimme some figures and I'll tell u the best u can get.

CF_Jamil · March 2010

go to a MOD or send in a ticket?

dragunov3r · March 2010

What specs do you have now, where do you live, and what kind of budget are you looking at?

IIoWnAgEII · March 2010

Soz. Didn't think people would reply. I'm from new Zealand. I'm going for Anything under like $1500

IIoWnAgEII · March 2010

bumpp

Wall_E_Mask · March 2010

Not really familiar with New Zealand's market, but here in canada u can get a powerhouse desktop/laptop for $1500 with nearly everything maxed out.
That being said, DT or LT?

IIoWnAgEII · March 2010

I find that desktop is better. soo dc. Go to this link of a couple of computers ive been looking at:

Im pretty sure youll be able to see them.

I'd go with the 2nd one. Roughly the same specs but $200 cheaper. You're really just paying for the huge HD on the first one.

Wall_E_Mask · March 2010

AMD's Phenom totally r@pes Intels C2D quads plus their cheaper, so I'd say that's a good start.
I'd say stay away from buying a "package" with monitor cuz they always use that to mark up (U can probably find the same computer with the same monitor seperate and save another 150 bucks.)

???? what do you mean..? which one? 1st or sec?

btw how do i check comp stats

IIoWnAgEII · March 2010

sooo the second one is top notch?? is that going to be like AWESOME for CrossFire??

Wall_E_Mask · March 2010

2nd one uses the Phenom.

As for the specs, they're listed on either page. You're off to a good start; I'd say searching for a Quad (Preferably either i7's or Phenom's) with at LEAST 4 gb of RAM. I'd say save yourself some cash and go with lower capacity HDD as thats another good markup tool.

If u look enough I'm sure you'll find a single tower with a Quad CPU, 6gb of RAM and a decent video card for around the 1000 mark.

I'm at work right now so I don't really have full access to the internet, but I'll google some models for ya either when I get home (doubtful as I'm reaaaaaaally tired) or over the weekend.

They're both pretty beast (second one is better tho), but they're a little over priced IMO, I'd say search a little more.

IIoWnAgEII · March 2010

is it ok if i add you as friend. and you tell me l8r and some good products?

Wall_E_Mask · March 2010

That's never a problem ^^

May take me a while cuz closing shift at work always drains me

IIoWnAgEII · March 2010

thats algood

Ok, so I was looking for some prices for ya and I gotta say, the webpage you found Is basically the ebay of NZ, the deals I find there are ridiculous compared to other computer retailers.

I've bumped into several awesome tower only deals, from about 800-1500 for a basically maxed out computer.

For a budget computer, I haven't found anything that beats:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Desktops/No-monitor/auction-279695407.htm

AMD's BLK ED PHM 3.2ghz processor (A personal favorite), along with 4gb of DDR3 and your choice of 3 1gb GPU's

Construction on it seems decent too, and it uses an ASUS Mobo.

For a Pimped out tower I'd say:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Desktops/No-monitor/auction-280212454.htm

The Tower alone would put u past the 1500 budgetline, not to mention that it's overkill for CF, but it would be hard to find any computer that can beat this for speed and price.

Oh, one last thing: All these are NZ items, have u considered shopping overseas and hacving it shipped to ya? Dunno what the curency exchange would be, but it may be worth it...(do keep in mind international shipping charges and the helluva long waiting time)

Get a dual core processor with atleast 2.8ghz as well as a good graphics card like nvidia 250gts or ati 5000 series.
2gb ram will do if you have windows 7 or xp and 4gb will be more than enough if you have vista

New Computer!
