It's a very powerful combination (Phenom II X4 920 + 4870X2).

Don't be tricked by the store to put more money on the processor and less money on the GPU.

The GPU should always cost A LOT more than the processor in a good gaming system or else something is wrong.

 

lol my cpu was $200 and video card was $50, and it seems to run modern games just fine, though i haven't tried crysis. Imo it made more sense to cheap out on the video card (8800gs), upgrading that a year or two from now, than it did to cheap out on the cpu. Also, i don't have the luxury of running 4xxx ati cards as they are not supported in osx86, meaning I am at the whim of apple and whatever they actually put into real macs for my graphics card choices. As far as I know, the best video card you can currently run in osx86 is a 9800GTX.
