New Build, any suggestions?

[spades010]

I am (hopefully) building a computer before/after Christmas, and I want to know if there are any things I can do to up this build and stay w/in budget (Up to $800). BTW I play on a 17" monitor w/ a 1280x1024 resolution, which is my biggest monitor, but I also have a 32" HDTV in a separate room, but idk the max res on that one. Anyways here are the parts from Newegg:

(THE RAM AND MOTHERBOARD COME IN A COMBO DEAL W/ $40 OFF, SO THAT IS WHY I CAN AFFORD THE MOTHERBOARD)

I WANTED TO PLAY GAMES LIKE CRYSIS, FAR CRY 2, COD4, ETC.

TOTAL:$791

You are paying extra for an SLI chipset, and an inferior one as well. This does you no good as your GPU is not an SLI GPU.

The rest of your choices are great

+1 for Proximon.

Guys, list the names of the parts, not just links. The thread is totally unreadable if you don't.

So, you're looking at this:
SATA DVD-RW, WD6400AAKS, Asus HD 4850, 650TX, E8400, GA-EP45-UD3P, Antec 300, G.Skill 2x2GB DDR2-800. Very good setup.

Add another video card if/when you need it. You don't need it for your 1280x1024 monitor and even less for the 1366x768 TV. If the TV happens to support 1080p (1920x1080) then you do need that second card, but I suspect it's only 1080i. Crysis won't benefit much from a second HD 4850, but in CoD and other games the difference is spectacular.
