Should be, yes. I do prefer Prime95, though

+1 for prime95. If it survives prime then it should be fine

It does tend to do that But don't worry too much, you rarely see 100% load across multiple cores

But can it play Crysis?

Well it ran prime 95 for 20 minutes no problem, and cod5 at 50+ FPS outside so I reckon it could.

Ye you can play Crysis on HIGH 0xAA at 1280x1024 or 1680x1050 with that card and your CPU at that speed. Nice.

He said his budget it R8K, this is already 9K, it comes with a **** case and power supply and still has to buy a Gfx card. He could get much better for that price.

I am happy for you, but I think the bug has bitten you, so go out and get better cooling and push it as far as you can.
