How can you Not be able to run Crysis? I was able to play Crysis Demo on a Geforce 6200se.

As for the OP, Computers are so cheap nowadays that you can even build a $500 that will play all the games of this generation, but also loads after the current console generation dies, without any upgrade.  It rivals the PS3 in price, but it plays more, cheaper and better games.

I would think that anyone who is serious about PC gaming should get a good case and a good PSU as a base. You'll have a more reliable, quieter, better looking machine for it and its pretty much a fixed expense. You pay once every 6 years or so for the PSU and a Case can last 10 years EASY.

I would say, buy a good case/psu and then budget your other parts on top of that, do you agree?
