There is also some wiggle room in it where you can downgrade a few things like the graphics card to the 1gb version, or the hard drive, or even the processor.

You you are firm on the price I would check out this guys builds from youtube.

Click to expand...

Your not going to see that for less than $600+ IMHO. And thats keeping your case, HD, and PSU. You'll need to spend $200+ on just the GPU. Crysis on max takes a LOT of horsepower.

Yeah...I'd just start saving up for a new build.
