    even the lowest spec on 5796 can run them with max settings.

    I am not sure the highest *anything* can run Crysis on high quite yet. Desktops are only starting to get in that realm now.

    ^--^ agreed. Lower res + 2aa is faster.

    The 8800GTX can run Crysis on High this way, with around 30fps stable. NOT on Ultra, though. But all those other games will run maxed out just fine on a 5796 with the 8800GTX (or 9800GT as its now called).


    BTW - Your new Avatar took me off guard, Nirvana! Didn't know it was you posting for a while there...

    Get the best specs you can, it will last you longer.
    Unless your willing to upgrade parts in the future, things will be cheaper that way.

    Good luck!
