For my 1600x900, to play the top of the line games, which graphics card would be best to play games like Crysis, Dirt 2 and such, games that have realistic life to them?

A gtx 260 / hd 4870 / hd 5770 will be fine with at 1600x900. If you want to spend alittle more money then get a hd 4890 / hd 5830 / gtx 275.

Yes. but--are you purchasing new? If so an ATI 5770 would be a better option.

Its cheaper, newer technology that will run cooler, use less energy, and offer direct x 11 support.

Difference in these cards is only the factory OC right?
