i'd stick with high settings instead of 'very high' settings. During most of the Assault mission (lots going on outdoors) frame rates could get in the single digits with max settings and reasonable resolution of 1280x1024. I guess i'd rather play at native resolution with high settings than play something weird like 800x600 at very high.
By the way, I play at high settings and get around 25 fps with no overclocking with my native resolution.
P.S. for bmxderek10 i just noticed the guys's specs are some of what you want to get. so....not so much on the maxed out settings with a good resolution
Also, yes that is good for gaming. Dont base your selections on just Crysis though because no gaming graphics card can play it on max settings/ native resolution at the optimal fps of 60; nevermind adding any AA or AF.
If your computer will strictly be used for gaming with no overclocking, you may want to take a look at an E6750 instead. Most games don't use 4 cores; the E6750 is $60 cheaper on newegg while running at a faster frequency.
