I need help and I have had some advice from my clan, but I'll just cut to the chase. I want to play crysis at high/very high on all settings, I use a low res usually doesnt bother me much im on a small 19inch lcd pc monitor. I dont know my pc model or motherboard or my powersupply actually I do know it says it can't exceed 218w.

My Gaming Rig:

Manufacturer: DIXONSXP
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
Memory: 2046MB RAM
Hard Drive: 392 GB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT
Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor
Sound Card: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
Speakers/Headphones:
Keyboard: USB Root Hub
Mouse: USB Root Hub
Mouse Surface:
Operating System: Windows VistaTM Home Premium (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1 (6001.vistasp1_gdr.080917-1612)
Motherboard:
Computer Case:

I know I need a new GPU and PSU so here are the link to what I was planning on buying:

GPU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-4870-750M-512MB-DDR5/dp/B001OLZEAK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239221645&sr=1-10

PSU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Power-Supply-Version-CMPSU-450VXUK/dp/B0015RSM7A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239223518&sr=8-3

I looked at a few other graphics cards

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-HD-4870-512MB-PCI-E/dp/B001BN3WZ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239044452&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inno3D-nVIDIA-GeForce-GTX260-Graphics/dp/B001I902NW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239044540&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-e-GeForce-warranty-customer-support/dp/B001E4RZ72

Also I don't really have much money and £200 is the most I can spend, can you tell me if I am picking the right card and if there is a better option? thnx.

OK got all four games from today 27th Feb 09. And well... Halo wins :P. I mean yeah the 360 was my main console but then I'm willing to buy a ps3 last week just for Little Big Planet and Killzone 2 and spend £100 on a graphics card just to play crysis I wouldn't say I'm a fanboy. I don't like Wii games other than the family classics like mario kart and wii sports. For Graphics Crysis wins but it's not far in front of KZ2. Obviously Halo is a ugly by these standards but still better looking than most fps and metroid prime its on a freaking wii of course it looks like something a stray dog spat out! Replay value Halo period. Crysis might be nice with some mods and that warhead expansion, DLC will likely come for KZ2, but halo wins online thanks to XBL, it has DLC in the form of new maps, and expansion on the current game soon Halo 3:ODST and the online match is updated the most frequently, with the new dash it completely changed it's online ranking system and added 750GS. Gameplay I'd give to halo also all four lack in a decent story line but halo makes you feel special especialy if you have played the whole trilogy and/ or halo wars. Halo has the best controls and old fan favs. Crysis is good but the story is garbage, killzone ive played all day and well, controls get annoying very quickly and online isnt the most stable, on realse day so please dont say im wrong in about 2months time when the servers are actually fixed in the EU. Metroid prime has the wii-numchuck-out-of-the-window as the main controller which I don't like, and KZ2 use of sixaxis fails. but If I had to choice one it would even today be Halo 3, but if you pc can handle crysis give it ago and ps3 owner dont have any good games so killzone 2 should be on every owners wish list.

HALO 3

KILLZONE 2/CRYIS

METROID PRIME 3

Ok so Midnight Club is probably the best street racing game since NFS:Most Wanted and I know NFS: Undercover is likely to blow it away however, MC:LA is a great game, and I was wondering...Where do you guys think are the best driving/visual spots in the game. Personally I like to drift in a B class 240SX so any multi-story carparks are on my list, also the Highways and Canyons; although sometimes tricky in races, they're great online cruise spots. The Beach and Pier are another great cruise location and fun to drift around showing off your car online about there. I don't want to hear arguments about cars or other racing games, only mention your car here if it helps to emphasise your hotspot.
