Quite well, however I would recommend switching to a 5850 for starters, provided you can find one that's in stock. Also, see the form in my sig, it will help provide us with more information so we can make more accurate suggestions.

For gaming, the i5 750 is the best price/performance CPU out there. Stick with that. It won't hold back your GPU where you'd notice any problems. If you have left over budget, put it into the GPU.

The Noctua is a good HSF, but the Coolermaster Hyper 212 does just as well and should be half the cost.

Crysis will do high to ultra on that monitor. I'd suggest going to incrysis.com and getting Cuban's CCC. They did a ton of work over there to optimize the game and get the graphics running sharper than Crytek did.
