Will this build max Crysis 3?

Solution
I initially meant AF 8x for best results, but don't count on using 16x.

AA being lowered still applies here; 8x MSAA will not result in 60fps. 2x SMAA will be a good compromise. All things considered, the compromise is minor.

Heres a pretty nice build that I can up with real quick. It's way under your budget as well of 2k as well.

You can upgrade change the GPU to a 7970 if you want ( I prefer the 770 SC though).
You can go to a 750PSU so if you want in the future you can SLI
You can add a SSD if you want as well.
You can also change the case a bit but I'd say stick with a full tower.

Perhaps I will OC, but most likely not. If I did spend 2k, it would include the peripherals, but I probably still include the ones from the current list. I would mostly game and have the occasional Skype call, but no video-editing.

Thinking of SLI or Crossfire options down the road is good thing. Making sure the PSU will support this is necessary too. BUT as your build stands, the 7970 will not max Crysis 3. AA will have to be lowered. Minor really.

What does " AA will have to be lowered. Minor really." mean?
