So far, I have 2 builds.

Do you think that either of these build would be able to max Crysis 3 with around 50 FPS? If not, can you suggest a build that would be able to? I plan to only use one monitor, will not do video editing (therefore I do not need Hyperthreading), and call me chicken, am afraid to overclock.

No prob. AA, which comes in more than one form, stands for Antialiasing. Antialiasing is a technology used by some games that de-pixelizes curved edges in curved images, which produces a small increase in overall image quality. If a game is truly “maxed out,” then your AA settings will be set on high, and AA...

Yes, but do you that either of them would max Crysis 3? I can add peripherals later.

Both will play Crysis 3 well, but neither will play it at max at 50 fps with AA turned up. Turn off AA, and you're likly to get 40 to 50 fps at 1080 (but not 1440) on a 24 to 27-inch monitor.

By the way, where's the SSD in these configs? And what size monitor will you be using?

GPU & CPU are the two key components of your rig, here is a benchmark that shows the same GPU with the 3rd Gen i5 running Crysis 3. Just do your homework, look up benchmarks on your computer parts and you'll get a decent idea of how well your system will run games.

Can you explain to me what AA is? How would I turn it off? I don't know any good SSD's, can you recommend one? Also the monitor will be 23".

No prob. AA, which comes in more than one form, stands for Antialiasing. Antialiasing is a technology used by some games that de-pixelizes curved edges in curved images, which produces a small increase in overall image quality. If a game is truly “maxed out,” then your AA settings will be set on high, and AA hogs a lot of processing power from your GPU. Overall, maxing out AA settings is not necessary for excellent game play. You turn it on or off or adjust its settings inside the game’s settings.

It’s important for a gaming rig to have an SSD for the boot drive. Install Windows on the SSD and only Windows. Games and other files and apps should be placed on your HDD. OCZ, Intel, and Cosair all make good SSDs. Don’t get one that’s less than 128GB.
