Trying not to bottle neck

I would like to be able to play crysis at a decent fps. If it helps, I want to use it on my 32 inch tv, it has vga, dvi, and an hdmi hook up.
 
To play crysis at a decent fps, and have a good resolution (im assuming your TV is Full HD (1920 x 1080 resolution)) meaning, you have to play at that res, or it will look rubbish (TV's generally look rubbish at lower res, monitors arent that bad)

you will have to get a better card to play at that resolution with good fps (unless you dont mind the quality of the game)

Im averaging 40 - 50 frames, all setings on max, 4xAA, 16xAF. So you can put the game on medium with no AA (at that res, who needs it anyway...) and get ok frames...

and i got the 2nd best card on the market... (3rd if you count the 5970) and im geting those fps.

well any gpu you buy in that price range would not make your cpu a bottle neck

Yea, I kind of like that ATI card, and HIS is a good company. Is there any Nvidia card that compares with it?

Or what else would be better than these, im open to all options now (as long as its not over $200). Because I would like to spend good money and get decent frames with this 32 inch hdtv. I mean if it will be to hard/expensive, I can just use my 22inch monitor for one of the ones you listed already.

Thanks again
 
The GTX 260 would be comparable--but if you're in the sub-$200 range, the 4890 is a good deal!

Wattage isn't really an issue, it's just the +12V on the PSU. What PSU do you have/plan on buying?

Either

Of course the OCZ psu is better, but I don't have the extra money for that right now, and I was thinking of just getting the first psu and upgrading to a crossfire ready one/higher watt and voltage one later once I decide to crossfire and buy a second card.
 
I've been trying to find a power supply
For that 4890, but I can't seem to find one. Any recommendation for a power supply that can power the saphire 4890 that's under $100?
