What operating system? If Vista, good ram selection, if not, then just order the 2gb pack of g.skill for $40

I like how you didnt put up not needed parts, you should be good to go with that. You may want to sli graphics cards though.

It'll be able to play every game out on high settings, including Crysis.

However, you might want to take into consideration the fact that the next-gen cards from NVIDIA and ATI are releasing next month. Their release could drive down prices for the 8 and 9 series cards.

It dosent seem that bad

it could probably run crysis in Medium-high but dont worry man for that price your getting a hell of a pc

100$ more, get a 9800gtx and you'll really be cookin.

EDIT : you might want to get a good downdraft CPU cooler if your getting an evga 780i sli, i have one too and it runs hot, bios tells me my MCP was at 60C at idle until i got a new cooler, the northbridge runs hot. the northbridge fan box says its optional.. but its not.. USE IT.

**I haven't even read OPs post, but here I go...**

If it has a modern Intel Proc, an 8 series GPU from nVidia, and at least 2GB of ram (Which I'm sure his PC does :roll: ...ya know.. since just about EVERONES does...) Then you'll be fine... just like EVERYONE else.

So how'd I do?

EDIT: WOW what a shocker! never saw it comming! :roll:

well if i were you i wouldn't get the 780! motherboard since its a big waste of money....just grap a GA-P35-DS3L motherboard which has better quality and better OC'ing power.

and about the Crucial RAMs i suggest you change them to OCZ since the 8500 Crucial rams has a huge failure rate look at newegg reviews and you will see tons of complanis about blue screens and died issues.

shift the 8800GT with a 8800GTS 512 its only $40 more or less you will get better cooling and better fps since it stays on 60C while the GT stays on 90C.

at the end this is just my opinion...
