First of all my psu is a 580W HiperPower Type-R Modular Blue PSU Quiet Dbl Fan aPFC ATX2.2 20/24 PinĀ 

When Crysis comes out i am planning on getting the following...

NF6/7 mobo (depends if NF7 is out)
Core 2 duo E4300 OC'd to 3ghz or above (Something else if a better overclocker is out)
2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 PC6400 or above (DDR3 if out and not too expensive)
DX10 GFX card (if i was to buy now, probably a 320mb 8800gts, so that gives you an idea of my budget)

Also, what speed RAM do you suggest to max out the overclocking potential of the E4300?

Now i know this is all very vague but i'm just asking for estimates really. :)

I think 580W should be fine for that but I'm not absolutely positive.

NO STOP you must rethink... That powers supply can only deliver 360 real wattage!!!! http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=26

Do not buy that trash heap you want to know what it did, it was runing crpapy for 2 months, then it burned my motherboard 4 pin to the cpu and smoke was coming and crap, it has no pfc to monitor what its doing. It killed my motherboard, I dunno about my cpu it was a 3.6 ghz p4 oced to 4.1 ghzĀ

I heard somewhere that non-modular PSUs are more efficient. Not sure though.
