Here's one that I'm putting together for under 1400 (USD) that uses top grade components and I promise you (and Tom's Hardware testing shows) it will kick Crysis in the butt and anyother game in the next few years at least. ...

Bit of a power mismatch there (CPU overpowers GPU). You could get much better performance with the slightly cheaper HD4870 512MB. However, if you're going to spend that much, you might as well get an HD4850 X2 or GTX285 which would be more suited to the CPU. 12GB of DDR3 is overkill: 6GB will be sufficient for a long time.
It would even be worth sacrificing the CPU to get more money for the GPU. Crysis framerates would be better.
