I don't really understand what you are trying to do with this PC, and how much money your willing to spend. Your beginning is saying not too much of a PC user, don't go on extremes with hardware, but you seem more of a gamer with a desire for power!

You won't get very much out of Crisis with that build. Mainly because of processor bottle-necking, but you can upgrade your GPU for just a LITTLE less, and get TONS more use out of it, plus DX 11.

Your memory is WAY overkill for processor. I would at the least (for standards today) go a cheap Quadcore. Maybe a Phenom II quadcore is right for you.

EDIT: it sounds like my processor is the problem, so by going with a quadcore, my videocard will be unrestrained and the RAM will not be overkill? what RAM do you recommend
