Was thinking of getting 2GB more of ram, and a better graphic card!
Also, I don't know much about computers, so can someone explain if there's different kind of ram, and if I buy 2gb more should it be the same 'kind' or something?

Also, would that let me play Crysis on max(no AA)? If not, what should I upgrade?
Sorry if it's far from it, I just really don't know much about this!
Thanks a bunch for any help !

Good gaming rig, wont be good enough to max out crysis, but ti should max out 85% of the games out there.

I would get atleast 5770/260gtx as a gpu.
 
Better GPU. GTX 460 1Gb comes to mind. about $220 or so.

Oh and what brand is the PSU? generic PSU's are more likely to give out 40% of what they are rated for before going out of spec on ripple and noise and all that baloney (it matters though)
 
Alright, so which is better 260gtx or 460gtx? Would I be able to max it with one of those? ;)
Also, it doesn't tell me what brand is the power supply, but I wouldn't mind buying a better one to make sure !
Any suggestion?

Thanks for all the help, really appreciated!
 
If you wish to do 2D (two dimensional), 2.5D (two point 5 dimensional) then yes (I believe so anyways) you should be good otherwise say like 3D games you might need a better computer for that.
