Is building a fairly decent 500 dollar gaming computer possible?

best gaming computer june 2011 image

WHOA!

I want to get a new computer and I was wondering if I could build one with 500 dollar range. Would it be enough to run Crysis 1 or 2 at med to high settings? I'm just using Crysis as an example, since it's a game that demands a high powered computer.

Answer
Here you go.

That would manage Crysis on High/Very high mixed settings at a 1680x1050 resolution. Same with Crysis 2.

If you can push a bit more to around $600, you'll have no problem maxing out Crysis 2 at 1080p. Crysis on very high with no AA.

Which major should I take Computer Programming and design or Computer Forensics and security?

Machine Sh

I am living in Chicago,IL and going to depaul university. I like using computers and all that other new tech. I like the idea of making video games and I also like the idea of catching criminals.
Can somebody tell me the pros and cons with both of these careers?

Answer
If you want to design video games you should click on these links for DePaul Game Development. I know they are getting a lot of attention for their game design program. Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine featured DePaul with MIT, USC, and the University of Utah in their June 2011 edition. It would be best if you talk to someone from their gaming program. They are the only ones that can tell you what you need to learn to get where you want to be.
