First, what's your budget?

For high-resolution, smooth, quality Crysis 3 gaming, you need a 6-core Intel (consider overclocking it, so buy an upgraded cooling solution), at least 12GB RAM, and maybe two NVidia GTX Titan graphics cards. For what you want, you're going to spend a few thousand dollars.

You should look primarily on graphics cards however you will need decent ram, cpu to run crysis. Some games rely more on a cpu than others for example battllefield 3, but almost all games rely on the GPU.

I would get a i7 3770K, 8gb ram at 1866mhz, and probably get a 7970.

For Crysis 3, The FX8350 from AMD is a great buy, it runs it even better than the venerable i7-3770k from intel! The advice about 12 GB RAM is a bit off as well...minimum 4 GB RAM and 8 GB if you can afford it is recommendable. As for a video card, I cannot recommend anything less than a Radeon HD 7870 XT to run it smoothly at high-ish settings. A HD 7970 would be even better if you could afford it.

sorry im very sorry nuke, but I hope u understand why im like it... I need to make sure of everything quick coz im buying my pc In a week..cant you maybe help me personnaly with my questions please im struggling but atleast now some basics of a pc atleast...plz

 
I know it is an old thread and it looks like the OP has been gone for a while.

Currently, something like the i5 3570(k version for overclocking) and a gtx 770 or 760ti when it is released would be a good all around gaming system.

I picked the i5 because the HT features of the i7's will not be used by many games so it saves you some money.

Cooling can be handled by the inexpensive Hyper 212+ or EVO from coolermaster.

Motherboard and case selection come down to your needs(ports and other options YOu want).

A quality 500-600 watt power supply would run the system without any issues. Just remember that it should be a good unit(a 550 watt unit with less power(on its 12 volt rail or rails) than a 350 watt unit is NOT good :) ).

I hope this is a good starting point for you.

Think Nuke master summed it up the best, the 3570K Oc's great, handles DRAM great, as far as the GPU theose presented are good, though if budget comes in a 660TI would more than suffice, most games are 1 or 2 cores so not sure where that 6 core opinion came in, but having 4 in the 3570 will handle most anything you throw at it easily (except Hyper-threading)
