That case makes me feel ill.

Oh yeah I wouldn't be too proud about running Crysis 2 on max as it's generally considered a game that doesn't really stress hardware that much, but yeah The Witcher and Crysis 1 are a bit more impressive.

I don't get why you went for the GTX 460 though, I would have gone for the current Gen 560/560 Ti which is a fair bit better :o

--Edit--

Crytek must have read my post and decided to make me pay, now you need SLi'd 570's to max it out, lol http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crysis-2-directx-11-performance,2983.html (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crysis-2-directx-11-performance,2983.html)

A TX750? You should have gone for a Seasonic x-650 or one of the corsair AX models, I'm an amd/ati man so I can't really comment on the i5/460. To me it looks like a nice pc though, apart from the case :P.

460 was a LOT cheaper, and I was broke :D

also the power supply is beast, I love it, and the processor is great as well.

As for Crysis 2, they just updated it to run on DirectX 11 instead of 9, plus they up'd ALL the graphics from 'Extreme' to 'Ultra' and the tesselation and all that is just incredible. Personally I think it's better than Crysis 1 was now. I just need Windows 7 64bit to use the Hi Res textures they released too lol.

How much you got for it?

the whole thing, including 2 monitors and shipping, cost me about $1,100. About $850 for the tower alone.
And yes, it can run any game that currently exists at or close to maximum settings. :D
