NEVER get a rosewill PSU. They suck. THEY SUCK!
Also, the case was the deal of the day either yesterday or the day before. You could've saved 10$. Go with Ssassan's rig. It'll do fine in Crysis but don't get a 4850x2 when you can get a 4890 (or GTX 275) for the same price. One GPU beats two smashed together in plastic casing. Good luck.

Both of those reviewer sites you posted are BS. When does a GTX 295 AND a 4870x2 lose to a GTX 285.
The GTX 275=GTX 280= 4850x2. Gtx275=4890. Either would work.
