And also, you could go for one of the triple core Athlon IIs as well, nightsurge - the Athlon II 435's a great CPU for what it costs. |
Crysis is CPU bottlenecked only by a low-frequency dual core or weaker. Most games actually CPU bottleneck at >70FPS even with a $100 tri-core, so that's why most people will recomend AMD processors for a band-for-the-buck gaming PC...
