If your going to running high-end games like Crysis, you will want a 768MB VRAM so that you can run the game in high grahpics. Besides that, you got a nice comp ;) :)
 
Uhhh...RAM makes very little difference to performance unless you run at High resolutions and high textures. I'd get an 8800 GT. Only a bit more expensive and twice, or maybe even three times as fast.
 
that cpu and maybe the 8800 GT would be perfect for DODS and a few other recent generation games but you can forget about crysis, they tested a top end Intel with triple sli config and it still only got low fps at a large resolution, but for recent games that'll do fine, im sure cause i have an FX60 at 3GHz and an X1900XTX on other good hardware and its enjoyable @ 1280x1024 & settings on high
 
look for faster memory timings too, AMD is really sensitive to memory timings and start with a faster drive like a Raptor but if you want a really responsive drive, get a 15K Ultra 320 drive and card, its like night and day
