This is my first build.. sorry if the parts list wasn't well organized.

I would like to know if this is a good build, and worth the money. I find myself changing it around often.
I want to be able to run Crysis at MAX settings also, im not sure if this would do it.
I eventually plan on buying another graphics card later on so i can run them at the same time.
I'm not sure if this is a good build or worth the money... but those are the two most important things to me right now.
My father is paying for this computer, so i have to be sure im making a good choice here.

Thank you very much for reading my post, and thanks again if you reply to this!
I really need some help here.

The HD 5770 isn't high-end. You def. can't max out Crysis on that card alone. It all depends on the target resolution. Are we talking about 1900x1080?

nVidia cards are generally better at Crysis and some other games. To max it out with AA, you'd need 2 x GTX 295 in SLI. Anything less than 30 FPS is choppy. You should aim for 60 FPS average for smooth gameplay. Look at the red bar chart for 1920x1200.

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gf-gtx295-sli_8.html#sect0

Here's the single GTX 295 build. You can throw in another 295 for SLI. The PSU support that.

If you prefer ATI cards, you'd need 2 x HD 5870 in CF. Look at the topmost green bars in the 2 charts. That's very close to 1080.

Here's the single HD 5870 build. Again, you can throw in another one for CF. The PSU supports it.
