I have around $800 to spend. I want to be able to play Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 on maximum graphics. Please list the specs I need. I'm not lazy i just don't know anything about computers. I've been researching for days on what computer to get. Please help! Thanks!

Answer
The one you build yourself.....
NEVER buy a gaming computer.

Yahoo answers will only allow up to 10 links, so I have to leave out the not so important components. Just copy paste in the search field on Newegg to find them, I will give the full name but no link for those.

BEST BUDGET GAMING DESKTOP PC BUILD FOR THE MONEY (under $750.00USD for the tower only)
Monitor, keyboard and mouse can add from $175 to over $500, depending on size and model you want.
All prices are in $USD and in the USA, current as of December 2012 and they might be slightly different one way or the other by now.
Also, some shipping charges may apply to some of the items.
Add your state sales tax if you reside in NJ, CA or TN - that's where Newegg has warehouses.
Look for similar parts on Amazon, Tiger Direct, etc if you want to avoid paying Uncle Sam.

How to stop laptop overheating when playing games?

Jake

Helloo. So my problem is that when i play games like dishonored and NFSMW (2012) my computer overheats. Now I have solved this problem by simply putting a fan beside my computer but that extremely inconvinient during winter. I defragged my PC.
Here are my specs.
8GB Ram
Nvidia GeForce 540M
Intel i5 2410M @ 2.3GHZ
Dat enuff infomation?

Answer
Laptop cooling pad, possibly try to blow out dust that builds up, Always on a hard surface rather than a cushion of some sort. If it is an HP, update bios and drivers to the latest levels. The DV6 has a history of overheating.

Your laptop can handle Dishonored fairly well, but by pressing it to the limit on NFS Most Wanted, it does overheat more. Reducing settings would probably help.
