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!

i have a viewsonic vg1930wm 19 inch. I think the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 (Native). However i think i will hook up to my 32 inch sammy 1080p via hdmi.

Ok, the HD 5770 will completely OWN your 1280 by 1024 monitor for ALL and ANY games to maximum settings.

Your 32" Sammy will work great, do you know that if you connect it via HDMI you can output sound through the TV?

I have to go, sorry but I think you have all the tools and links you need to make a great PC. You just have to decide on which now.
