UPGRADE THE VIDEO CARD!!!!!!! Do whatever it takes to get a GTX 260 Core 216 (make sure it is core 216 and not the 192 core older version) or a 4850, or 4870. That is a low-end Video card so you definitely want to upgrde it. Are you planning on Over-clocking your PC? If not get rid of the water cooling because it would be a waste and you have to maintain it (not a lot, just one or two times a year). Blue-ray costs quite a bit, don't get it unless you are actually going to use it.McJugga

achrlz

for a 24" that i assume is at 1900x1200 then yes, a better video card is a must, if you want eye candy from crysis. if you dont mind little to no AA then id stick with what some are saying with the 260 core 216, it's a fantastic little card. it really depends what other games you play, b/c once you're done playing through crysis, then what? going to play the single player over and over then play the crap multi-mates? seems kind of silly. let us know what else you're going to play.
