New build to play Crysis

[brulesmegood]

Hello everyone im new to the forum and after hearing my friend make his own gaming pc, he has inspired me to do the same. Ive been doing research and have found the main items needed for my own custom pc. I would appreciate comments or advice to help me construct my pc. Also i would like to make sure that all the components i have are compatible.
Thanks

yea for 1000 dollars its goign to be hard to get a pc to run it on very high settings, but you can get maybe medium or low with a 1000 build.

- First and foremost, what resolution will you be playing at?
- Why not go with a 5770 instead of the 4870? It has same/slightly better perfomance, less heat, less power hungry?
- Do you plan on going crossfire later on? If not, you may consider saving money on a lower wattage PSU as 750w would be overkill. Maybe a 550-650...
- Do you plan on overclocking the CPU? If so, you should consider an aftermaket heatsink/cooler, maybe the hyper 212+. Amazon has it in stock for $30, its $50 on newegg.
