BFG 8600GT OC 256mb
PowerUp Mid case
OCZ Plat 2x1gig dual chan
Coolmax 450W PSU if not i'd use my 420W PSU i got lying around. mine has better amp on the +12v line too

Well I haven't played the beta, but I'd assume Crysis would beat any mid-range PC with a stick and then some.
jus sayin tho

Excellent choices for the vid card and mobo. I'm planning on getting an 8800GTS 320MB as part of my next rig upgrade.

i just hope the 8800 fits with the mobo, dont know exactly how the heat sink on the mobo is placed right by the pci-e slot
got the cpu, gfx, psu, ram today. still trying to find a different mobo maybe, its hard finding a cpu support list for the m2n mx se but i think 6000+ is max for it.
