Will my Dell Studio XPS 8100 run very high or ultra high graphics games like Crysis or GTA 4?

Q. I just ordered a Dell Studio XPS 8100 Desktop with 64bit windows 7 intel i5 750 @ 2.66Ghz 8 MB Cache 6 GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 1333mhz 4 DIMMs RAM nVIDIA Geforce G310 512MB DDR3 Video Card 500GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 16 MB cache Dell ST2010 HD widescreen Monitor. Will this computer run GTA 4 or Crysis in very high or ultra high?
What video card should I get?
and what power supply do I need?

A. Only if you upgrade the graphics card (and possibly power supply, depending upon which card you select). The G310 is an entry-level card which can't even run cutting-edge games like Crysis on medium. You'd need at least a Radeon 5770 or GTX 260 (roughly $175 cards) to run at very high detail, and a Radeon 5850 or GTX 285 is more like it.

For maximum detail you'd need an ultra-powerful GPU... that's what $400-$500 cards like the Radeon 5870 and GTX 295 are for.

For gaming computers the graphics card is the single most important component, having twice the impact of your CPU on frame rates.

*** Update***

You can run $75 cards like the Radeon 4670 and GeForce GT240 without having to upgrade the factory power supply.

The Radeon 5770 requires at least a 450W power supply.

The GTX 260 and Radeon 4890 require a minimum 500W power supply which supplies 36 amps on the +12V rails. So for those cards, get something like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004

The Radeon 5850 is much more powerful, that's the card to get if you've got $300 to spend. Check the user reviews:

The same power supplies linked above (for the GTX 260/Radeon 4890) will work. Although with one of these babies, you'll have more breathing room for future upgrades:

How big of a power supply should I get for my new computer build? (details)?

Oh and my budget is $1,600 :]

A. The PSU should be decent as is. Corsair PSUs are usually under-rated. I have read a review stating that the 750w PSU can handle 900w of load without getting out of +12v rail ranges. I also own this PSU and it is VERY quiet. It is so quiet, sometimes I worry of the fan is even moving any air.

A. Great build. however, if you are doing a completely new machine, you should go i7. it's worth the price. If you don't, the 955 is the next best. I would also change the case to a nzxt tempest, antec 900, or coolermaster cm 690(my fav). Overall, good build.


Will this be a awesome computer? (Building computer look at specs)?

A. looking good, but u should use a single gtx 295 instead and use a 1000watt psu so u can go quad sli later, 4890s are equivelent to gtx 275 which in sli is as fast as a gtx 295 with more power consumption plus all the games that are optimized for nvidia..
