Forget what someone told, and congo bro, even I have the 6200
And no card will run Crysis smoothly in ur case in higher settings due to existing config..If u dun want full config makeover(change)...well

Hmm u shud settle for 9600GT cause more than tht wud be an overkill for ur config....
U'll get 9600GT @ 6k(+ itz a monster OCer)
