I find it very hard to believe you were playing Crysis at all on a Core 2 Duo and a $60 GPU.

Q6600 is not even a Core 2 Duo. Also don't forget that Crysis came out in 2007. The 8800GT might be $60 now, but it was the GTX770 of 2007. In '07 I remember having a 7600GT and wanting a 8800 but it was way too expensive. Time flies.

Needed to do some repair for my dear PC to keep it running...
 
The fan stopped working, and I wasn't cheap enough just to buy a new fan.
 

 
 
New, beautiful Scythe Ashura installed!
 

 
 
And this is what happened after that.
 

 

 
 
Well, looks badass to me!

I almost forgot to post my computer setup!
 
 

 
Mac Mini 2011 Edition
Intel i5 2550 VDT
8GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair w/ tightened timings
Intel HD 3000
Samsung 128GB SSD
 
I bought this to replace my aging Q6600 w/ 8800GT box (I built it to play Crysis and quickly got bored of it). I couldn't be happier. I do most of my gaming on my 360 and Wii U. However, when needed, this little box cranks games out no problem. Gotta give credit to Apple and Intel for a solid little $500 system!

Awww... you got the AC in front of your face...lucky

Sure did! Or should I say that a jigsaw and black paint became useful... ^__^

My gaming/derping/do-it-all rig I finished a couple months ago.
 
The Specs:
-Intel Core i5 Ivy Bridge 3570k - 3.4GHz Turbo to 4.2GHz (will be overclocking it soonish)
-Cooler Master Hyper 101 CPU Cooler
-AMD Radeon 7950 w/3GB 384-bit Dedicated Graphics Memory
-ASUS P8Z77-V LK Motherboard
-Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid-Tower Case
-Intel 330 Series 180GB SSD
-Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm HDD
-16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (does not like being overclocked, ended up leaving at stock settings)
-Corsair TX650W PSU (May replace with one with more wattage and one that's modular)
-ASUS Xonar 5.1 Channel Sound Card w/Built-in Headphone Amplifier
-Rosewill Wi-Fi Card
 
Total investment: ~880$, received graphics card as a gift.
 
Cheers!
