I am not sure yet but I may be able to throw an extra $200-$300 dollars into this thing. Would it be better to go with a GTX 295 or a Core i7 940? This is my first build. I will be playing Crysis on it.
Any comments and suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
If I made a mistake above please correct me so I will not make that mistake in the future.
