Basically; I chose some computer parts which were apparently good for a gaming PC. I went a little overboard with the Graphics Card but I want to be able to play Crysis on fairly high settings.

If you don't think that lot will go well together please let me know because I don't want to be making any silly mistakes.
I was told to get a 8800GTs 320mb Graphics Card but I figured that wouldn't be enough for next gen games. Or if you however recommend that specific graphics card, please say.
