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.

If you spent $50 on that CPU with the same graphics card you would be getting the same framerates, I promise you. Similarly, if you'd spent $50 on the CPU and $150 on the graphics you would get twice the framerate.
