Ok i think ive satisfied my need to brag.
On Crysis I get around 30fps on Max settings and around 45fps on high (dx10 or dx9, almost identical fps)
I sold my old computer to a fool
who likes lots of led lights.
And I got around $400 for christmas.. so thats how i was able to build this monster.
Until i get a job this computer will hopefully hold me off cause i barely ever upgrade.. being that im 15 years old.
