I have an XFX 8600GT 256MB video card. On an Asus nForce 500 SLI mobo, AMD 5000+ dual core CPU, 2GB G.Skill RAM, and 1 250GB HDD. Bioshock plays great on it. Crysis, however, would not. The GDDR3 RAM is great, but the 128bit memory interface just doesn't cut it on the latest games.
Shyzza, since you mentioned you'd like to play Crysis, I'd go w/ the 8800GTS (nVidia), or the HD 3870 from ATI. Both are about the same cost, and offer near equal performance. nVidia has a slight performance edge w/ games since most developers have the best support for it's chipset, and from what I've read, typically offers better drivers, although ATI is rapidly closing that gap since it got bought by AMD.
As for the two cases you looked at, I'd go with the Raidmax. Or, look at a case/PSU combo from Antec. It'll be a little more pricey, but Antec's Power supplies are better than what you'll get from the Raidmax combo. I have a Raidmax case/PSU combo (Smilodon). My 500W PSU went bad, and fried my mobo. I had to have the mobo replaced (luckily still under warranty, so no money out of pocket) and bought a new PSU, as opposed to having Raidmax replace it (under warranty, as well) w/ the same model, and likely to go bad again. Newegg was cool enough to give me a credit towards a new and better PSU, after I explained to them what happened.
