I found an excellent deal on a motherboard / Athlon II combo for $178

Much better motherboard.

Also found this ram for $85 which is faster and comes with a $20 MIR

and the cpu ill allow me to run games like crysis at medium to high settings right?

On a 1650 by 1050 monitor or less, yes definately. It can run Crysis at 30FPS on gamer settings at 1920 by 1080 but only just.

What resolution is your monitor btw, im embarrassed that I forgot to ask!
