There are a few games with benchmarks, but ones I would run are Arkham City, Crysis Warhead, Metro 2033 and benchmark applications like Heaven or 3dMark11.

No regular SATA hard drive? Only a SSD?

Case - $70
MB - $90
CPU - $185
Cooler - $35
PSU - $85 with $20 MIR
GPU - $300 + Borderlands 2
RAM - $47
DVD - $20
SSD - $130
OS - $100
--------------------
Total - $1062 (current prices pretty much from Newegg)



Just some thoughts, that motherboard only has one PCIe slot so single GPU solution will be it. In that case, 750 watts is overkill. However at the same time, I can't really see a quality deal at that 500-600W range at the moment. I've also seen prices lower for some alternative parts, the Samsung 830 series SSD for as low as $79. The GPU is nice and new. I think some of the ATI products are better performance for the value but the drivers are a massive headache.

I plotted out my purchase for a while and built it myself so I got my totals fairly low even though I spent like $150 more on my mobo and PSU than your sister's friend but i didn't get a SSD.

Crysis 2, with the HD textures and DX11 pack installed? If it can run that on full detail all games should run on it right?

SSD for now.

I'm waiting for the prices to drop for SATA drives.
