I need some help!

[wkcecil]

I'm currently selling my car. I want to by my own parts to build a gaming computer. I want to build something that will play Crysis. I been wanting to play this game for a while...but my current computer cant handle it!!.
And to note, I don't know too much about computers...well mainly the insides of them!...can someone help me on newegg.com? I preferably want to stay under $1600-if this is possible...thanks for all the help!
Also 1st time poster, long time viewer!!

Easy... don't expect to max it with all settings on, Crysis is poorly engineered in terms of being over demanding though..

(I'm assuming you don't need a monitor)
Q6600
Asus p5q Pro
HD 4850
4gb DDR2 800
Case/ OP's of Your Preference
640gb Western Digital Drive
Corsair 750tx (if you want to upgrade to two HD 4850's)

Thank you kindly! you know the amount of FPS you would get with this rig?

These are from anadtech's review of the 4850.

AnandTech: The Radeon HD 4850 & 4870: AMD Wins at $199 and $299

now lets say i made a pc with 2 of these in there..

Newegg.com - ZOTAC ZT-98XES2P-FCP GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

would it run Crysis pretty close to 60 FPS on high settings?

if you are going to do that go ahead and get the gtx+ for $200 better card for same price.

and that depends on your gaming resolution....i doubt any good res will be able to play crisis 60+ fps no matter the setup

If you had two of those, you'd have to change the board I suggested to something else, but I say get two HD 4850's because you can get better boards instead of SLI chipset ones

Check the Anandtech Benchmarks

Its a no.. same with the 9800gtx+ but Crysis does better with nVidia card since Crysis was endorsed by nVidia anyways
