a simple side scrolling game that comes with a lot of baggage this is a serious why post a non serious answer?

[quote=kelvinzero]@qwan ff14 online a MMORPG its for the PC also(i wish i had ps3) Kill zone 3 is also for pc. I don't plan over clocking yet ill probably wait till i have a better job and and i become certified lolz. I will go with your video card recommendation 6970 looks very nice[/quote]

Ah, I'm just going to take your word on that. There are guides on overclocking the 2500k, so you shouldn't have too much trouble on it. Just do your research. The reason why I'm telling you to get the 2500k version is due to the fact that you got a premium motherboard, and it would be a waste if you aren't going to OC it eventually, IMHO. Plus it is only $10 more.

If you are just going to keep the non-K version, then I would save some money and get the i5-2400 instead and save $20.

[quote=kelvinzero]by the way qwan was does 2.1 pci-e slot means im pretty sure my mobo has a 2.0?[/quote]

According to Wiki: "PCI Express 2.1 supports a large proportion of the management, support, and troubleshooting systems planned for full implementation in PCI Express 3.0. However, the speed is the same as PCI Express 2.0."

If the GPU you are getting has a PCIe x16 2.1 interface, it will be backward compatible with the 2.0 slot of your motherboard. You will not see any performance hit because of it, so do worry. edit: DON'T worry... lol xD /edit

that looks good

as one of the posters said, get a 6XXX series graphics card if you want radeon. i'm not so sure about nVIDIA. I've been a radeon user for the past few years. i personally suggest XFX, but sapphire, ASUS, MSI, and most other name brands are good manufacturers to pick from.

i see a lot of good advice on here too. make sure your psu (power supply) can handle the graphics card. most new graphics card require a direct connection into your psu as well, so make sure it can support that.

and lastly, make sure you pick up enough RAM. yea, graphics card is one thing, but i think running maple smoothly is also a RAM/processor thing. If you're planning on using 32-bit (which is what maple is compatible on), the max that the OS will recognize is 3 gb, so grab 4 just in case.

feel free to pm me if you more questions

[quote=kelvinzero]@qwan maybe ff14, the new tera game that looks amazing and kill zone 3[/quote]

FFXIV and KZ3 are PS3 games, is it not? Do you need a video capturing device or something? When I asked what games you will be playing, I mean on the computer. Well, I'm just going to go ahead you want to play those taxing games like Crysis 2 as you pick a FPS game. The GTX 550 Ti or the HD6790 are two good choices in the <$130 price range.

Did you bought the i5-2500 already? I suggest you get the 2500k version so you can actually overclock it.

i dont take advice from pink avatars >.> yea @qwan look on top of pengy

i haven't made it yet lolz i have a second computer in Dominican republic and in windows 7 it looked really crappy and it was slow i switched that one to xp it was running nicely. On my friends laptop which im using atm windows 7 it freezes when attacking. this one has integraded intel graphics >.>

@qwan maybe ff14, the new tera game that looks amazing and kill zone 3

[quote=J9ssica]maybe it can handle it but a lot of people prefer not to lag[/quote]

I was able to play MS without any lag on an HD4200 and even Zak on it. Since he got a P67 mobo, he won't be able to used the Intel Graphics HD 2000 (within the same performance range as the HD4200), so he just need to settle for a $40-$60 GPU and that will easily be enough.

Kelvin, what other games will you be playing?

Depending on what you plan on playing and how much you will be upgrading in the future, you could even get a cheaper PSU. Even with a 5770 on that system, you could power it on a quality 380w-400w PSU. Of course, seeing how you got an expensive mobo with the option to SLI/CFX, a 650w PSU would work too.

[quote=Darcos]I'd recommend buying a corsair power supply as they are more reliable and a good investment (Tx, Ax series), but its up to you. As for graphic card you won't need a high end one because maple just simply doesn't require that much, Amd 5xxx or 6xxx series is more than enough, or GTX 4xx or 5xx series if your a Nvidia fan.[/quote]
Someone on new egg verified buyer replaced his corsair PSU with this one and hes loving it O.o Corsair PSU modular cost a lot

@Ossiel i plan on streaming UMvC3 for my locals so i need a hell of a machine.

What Jessica said no lag plox

[quote=halfness12]Most computers' Interated Graphics Chips can handle Maplestory.

That graphics card is fine, but you don't really need something like that to play something not so graphics-intensive like Maplestory.

.[/quote]maybe it can handle it but a lot of people prefer not to lag

You got an $200+ P67 mobo and got/getting the locked non-K version of the i5-2500? o.O

Anyways, if you want to get better recommendation for a GPU, you will need to tell us what other games you will be playing, as MS is hardly anything to go off by.

Oh for goodness sake. Buy any old used computer made in the year 2001 or later and its crap integrated video card will easily handle maple. Why do people think it takes a good video card to handle a simple sidescrolling game. an NES could handle Super Mario Bros 3. A SNES made the graphics a bit better.

5770 version is the old release from Amd. You should aim for 6xxx series, they are better suited for gaming also. If you have the money you should buy 6970/6950. Or go with the cheaper alternative 6870/6850.

Or what the guy below me says.

my mobo does not have integrated graphics its meant for gaming the only reason im building it with i5 2500 is because i might get windows 7 and im hoping not to have problems with maple.
