The experts will have some good advice but here is my 2 cents

1)  Isn't a 750 watt power supply overkill for 1 gpu?  You also have only 1 optical drive and one hard drive, so I don't see you needing that much juice.

2)  Many many articles I have read indicate that memory bandwidth isn't the bottleneck in most systems*.  Especially without an overclock would you gain much with the dominator?  Ram in one component where you could spend a few hundred dollars and get a few percent performance gain.

3)Are you sure that you would never want to burn a CD or DVD ever?

4) I'd think of getting the 8800GT, it is 90 bucks cheaper an only a few percent slower.  I think it would net you a lot more for the same price.

I'd recommend something that looks more like this
123436

For resolutions under 1280x1024, yes you will be able to run Crysis at max settings.
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.
