**UPDATED

I went to cyberpowerpc for a custom made PC. It's an Intel Desktop Gamer Xtreme 1000. Will this rig run The Witcher 2 on max settings?

**I tried to keep it under $1000 but will this rig run high-end PC games smoothly or on maxed settings?
**Also, should I change the motherboard?

Definitely run it well enough. I'd think about getting the i5-2400 though. Quad core will give you better performance both in this game and in the long term.

Cut back to a 600W PSU and on your cooling and use that money towards the i5-2400 imo.

What resolution do you play at?

You'll probably be able to play at some pretty high settings, though not maxed out.

This is my first gaming PC so I can't tell yet.

Mobo is good. I too would suggest to find some extra money to get the i5-2400 or i5-2500 non K cpu. You will be glad you did. Other than that the only thing I would question is that psu. Better to stick with a good brand name. Just my opinion though of course.

Grab a quad core Core i5-2400 or 2500 instead and you'll be good up to 1920x1200 all maxed except ubersampling off.

PSU is overkill. You can go with something smaller but a better brand name, as Skott wrote. Like Corsair or Seasonic.

Some of the part names and descriptions sound so cheesy!

 

[T101]

sorry, it wont. Not on max setting. On high, yes.

System in my signature runs Witcher 2 on MAX at around 20-25FPS. If I disabled Ubersampling (the rest on max), it runs it in between 42 to 60FPS.

The USB Extension Module seems sub-par

 

[JumBie]

Get your self an i5 2500k

What resolution do you play at T101? I just built basically the same system except 1 580 and I play at 1920x1080.

So, which thread should I be responding in? Do you have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, OS? What resolution do you plan to be playing at?
