Answer 1

I personally recommend you this one XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Video Card - FREE Company of Heroes PC Game, 512MB DDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI Support, Dual VGA Supporthttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Answer 2

There is no card at this moment that will run Crysis at full speed even at 600 or more dollars. The latest Maximum PC magazine tested some cards that are not released yet and they still could not run Crysis at full speed. So get that notion out of your head. Anyway, I recommend the 8800 GT from nVidia. It has a 630 megahertz processor with 512 megs of memory. That is what I own and it burns through every game out there. My system is somewhat like yours so I know it will serve you well.

Choose your budget.  4870 is the better 4850 is good and 4870x2 is the Mac Daddy.
