I am going to get a new PC soon for FPSCX10 and I am wondering if anyone could recommend me one that could easily run this on a rather large level, most of the settings and lots of enemies. I am prepared to pay. (lol)

and also is a Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator X3100 any good?

no no no, intel is the worst.

I just got a quad core 2.4 ghz with 4 gigs ram from dell with 256 mb vid memory for 650 dollars, then I upgraded the video card to an ati hd 4850 with 512 mb ram for an additional 250 dollars. It would have been cheaper if I got the 512 to start with, but I wasn't planning on running x10 when I got it. But if you go to Dell, there is a live chat where a sales rep will help you get the pc you want at a good price. I highly recommend Dell. The model I got is the inpiron 530 and I am very happy with it.

No, cant assemble computers yet lol. Looked around and found something that sounds rather, um, powerful But im not sure lol

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor E8400 (3.00Ghz, 1333MHz FSB, 6MB cache)
4096MB 800MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [4x1024]
Hard Drive 500GB NCQ SATA non Raid (7200 Rpm)
128MB Ageia® PhysX™ PCI card

And 1 of these three graphics cards... Do any of them have DX10
(I suppose the first 2 do..?)

1GB ATI® Radeon® 3870 X2 graphics card
1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800 GX2 graphics card
SINGLE 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT Card



And another quick question, can you hook up two PC towers to one moniter and use them seperately or do i need to buy a new moniter?

Those specs should do the trick. Any of those graphics cards should be good.

You can use one monitor, just get a switch. Then you can go back and forth between computers. Not sure how that will effect monitor performance though, you may want to look into that. It would really be best to have a monitor for each probably.

I reccomend one of the Nvidia cards, but I know some people around here do fine with ATI. Just a personal preference on my part.

Seems kind of funny that you would get a physics card AND a video card (assuming you chose the Nvidia) with physics enabled through CUDA...I guess you may get a performance boost, but I don't know by how much.

I had viewed that before but it wasn't really too helpful to me, thanks for the responses for the graphics cards, didn't know they would all work. lol.
Oh and whn i mentioned the moniters, did you think i meant using both at the same time, if so i just meant using one at a time.
