Default building me new computer

OK I got the spec list I think I want:

AMD 64 X2 2.8ghz 5800+
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe (Socket AM2)
2 x 2gb 800mHz DDR2 RAM (4gb total)
Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX 768mb

and... Windows Vista 64-bit. I'm taking a risk there I know, but I gotta try it out, and I'd like a legal copy of windows for once.

If it can run Crysis, it's good for years is my idea lol

Cyrisis runs well on my computer :
AMD Athlon FX-60
Asus A8N SLI-Deluxe mother board
2x1GB Mushkin Redline Ram
Radeon HD-2900


So you should do well. Are you playing Crysis now?
