Hi guys.
i am planning to get a new PC.

500 GB Seagate HDD
Sony DVD writer 16x
Sony Combo Drive 16x/48x/32x/48x
Logitech Keyboard
Razer Copperhead mouse
XFX Geforce 8800 GTX XXX edition
VIP 600W power supply

will games such as crysis and vangaurd work on this rig??
i have a problem with my monitor. i am a citizen of India. i have a option between an asus mw201u and asus PG 191. widescreen is good. but most games dont support it. do crysis, bioshock, resident evil 4 support widescreen. help me buying a monitor.
thanx.

Most games *do* support widescreen, especially in recent years. None of the games you mentioned are officially out yet (none are probably even completed yet), but Crysis and Resident Evil 4 are pretty much guaranteed to support widescreen when they do come out. Bioshock is likely to support widescreen for no other reason than that for an FPS to not support widescreen in this era would be unlikely.

well, no use now. i purchased a Asus PG191 gaming monitor. its quite good actually with 2ms response time. but i still wish i cud purchase a widescreen. thanx anyways.

Resident Evil 4 = Supports Widescreen
Crysis = Supports Widescreen (Games for Windows)
Bioshock = Supports Widescreen (Games for Windows)

Vinit should you decide to buy a WS Monitor in the Future do some shopping around, and stick around and do some reading here. There are lots of great posts about these things that can help you with the new technology out there.

Personally I went with a HDTV for my monitor becasue I wanted a full entertainment center basically. I have one room in the house where my computer, stereo, HDTV, Computer, DVD player, Speakers, and all my gaming stuff is and it's my fun room. It also serves as my office too. I recently with with WS and it has mnay advatages. At first I was a little intmidated by the technology, but after getting this big HDTV/Monitor, I could not be happier. You don't look at or watch an HDTV monitor, you are literally there in that virtual world. There are way to do surround gaming even which makes it even more like "being there".

I see WS totally taking over the Video scene. It's like a 33 Record Album compared to a CD or DVD. Throw in HD content and you are totally immersed in a virtual world.

Give one of these things a try. I think you'd love them. I really like mine alot. :)
