    Could you please tell me what would be the best setup for a Gaming PC? Like what would be the best graphics card to buy, the best motherboard, the best processor, etc. That would run & play the latest games in maximum details & settings...games like crysis, far cry 2, mirror's edge...I would really appreciate it if you could advise me

    It takes a monster of a PC to handle Crysis with everything maxed out. The good news is that a much more reasonable tower (maybe $2500 USD) can handle absolutely everything else you could possibly throw at it, and can probably still play Crysis on High with 4xAA enabled.

    Check the hardware guide (linked in the post above, thanks) for a better idea of what you can get for your money.

    Probably for the same reason you're discussing asian girls and rugby in the gaming forum :)... especially when you really should have posted this in the hardware forum :)

    The set up in my sig has so far chewed up any application or game I can throw it it. I don't have Crisis, but I'm playing Far Cry 2 with everything maxxed out at constant 60fps on a 1920x1200 screen ( I have vsync enabled).

    ok, this is now possibly the worst asked question in the forum.

    You dont specify budget, you dont mention what kind of games you like, what screen you use, what situation you are in, AND you failed to notice that there's a perfect harware buyers guide on the site already.

    Please, next time do some effort, remember, crap in is crap out!
