Didn't really have the money but spent it anyway.

Put it all together carefully, fired her up and installed Vista Ultimate 32bit.
I've played COD4 and just getting started on Crysis. Both look very nice, need to see more of Crysis before I pass any judgements. COD4 is up at max and no stutters, looks a bit better than my old rig, more detail and no slow down. Crysis I started on "very high" and it stuttered a bit. Will have a play with that soon.
Not tried LFS yet, but its going to fly obviously and not going to look any different. Just 200+ FPS I guess. Will get that bad boy rigged up maybe tomorrow.
