I use dual screens for everything I do. My 7850 could handle it.
You guys are living that life, and I'm over here sitting on a chair with a bad resolution TV, and a 550 ti that can barely play games at Medium to high settings. HMP
My parents agreed to let me buy parts from the Internet, but not for $1000. Can you help me build the cheapest PC that can run those games on max settings? Forget about sonic ether, bf3, and crysis 3 but add TERA online. I'll mostly be playing that and skyrim.
well your going to be needing that 1000$ bucks if your going to build it yourself. PC parts arent cheap these days. If you dont NEED max but still want decent enough graphics go with something that will get close to running max and just move your settings down a bit. Max graphics these days still arent even a scratch on the surface of real life.

Oh sorry I was at school when I posted that. Maybe less than $1000. $500-800 somewhere around there. I want the cheapest possible PC that could run the games I mentioned on max or close to max (at least just skyrim ENB and TERA. I don't change games very often so it should be fine). If it's not possible, then never mind.

If your budget is under $1000 why were you looking at a $1500 prebuilt? o.O

Shouldn't require any changes.
Although this is also true.

The 3570k + 7950 combo. Nobody got the joke? Really?
I don't get it.

What??? I honestly make no sense from that...
Do you have a budget?

I'm sure they would be much happier overpaying $500 rather than giving their child a project to occupy his time

They don't trust the internet for shopping.
Surely they would have bought that PC online
Mostly because it's from Best Buy.
touche.
Still, If your budget was so low i don't see why you would look at that PC.
Anyways, i agree with everyone else on building.

Drop the GPU to a 7850 if you need to on the second build.
