Should be fine - but I would probably change to Intel for better performance out of the box and overclocking ability. Have you played Far Cry 2 by the way?

I wish, have the game nice and ready waiting on my games shelf, bought it ini advance as I know I'm gonna get a prebuilt pc off overclockers in a couple of weeks, have you played it?

I have mate, and I sold it on the MM a day after I bought it. I was very disappointed. It's not all it was suppose to be. You will be suprised I think. Are you building this PC just for the game?

as above, will play it but you might not want it to

That will run Far Cry 2 fine, my 8800 GTX runs ok @ 1900 x 1220 res the 4850 with the AMD 6000 will easly run it.

My mate played it on the 360 and says it's amazing, I also have the two S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, ET: Quake Wars, and more to play on it, it's a prebuild from overclockers not components.

Games are opinion based, so try it for yourself. I found Far Cry 2 fun and it will easily run on that setup.

I had it on the PS3, I found it to be a good game although very repetative.

That said its coming free with my new I7 920 so I will have another blast on the pc.

The pc in your op will run it fine although it *may* struggle a bit at higher resolutions (1920x1200+) due to a lack of vmem (judging by the reviews on bit-tech vmem has a large impact on the playability at high resolutions (and max settings)

Farcry 2 = GTA in the jungle.

Thats a good point. I have a 19" monitor at home I was hoping to run the pc on, the pc be able to run it on high at 1440x900 (19"monitor)?
