Hi,
I'm not great with this. Any chance you can tell us what you aim to do with it? Like gaming, video editing etc.

Thanks,

Hi user52, I noticed you are in NZ and can`t purchase from Newegg, Ive just used them as a guide.
You didn`t mention any Ram but I have included it anyway
Ram: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820231277
GFX Card: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814161334
PSU: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817341017
GFX Card & PSU Bundle: http://www.newegg.co...st=Combo.469182
I hope this info gives you some ideas, I would suggest you read the buyers reviews and then use the
additional input for guidance.

Both cards are capable as long as they have a decent power supply.
Im not a serious gamer myself so I wouldn`t know what each of the
games you have listed require but I can`t see it being above what
either of the cards can support, I see the NZ prices are like the
UK, extortionate!

[user52]

Yes they are.

crysis is one of the most demanding games out there i think couple of years old it uses cryengine2.
