So I got a computer:
Amd phenom 2 x4 970 be 3.5ghz
radeon 6850 1g
8 gigs of kingston ram at 1600mhz
windows 7 64 bit
cpu cooling, tons of fans
1920x1080 res
Im not getting the framerates I think I should be getting, I cant run crysis at like high and get good fps, I only get like 30 or 40 fps on crysis 2 in hard core, its just, is this a good gaming computer? Why am I getting lag? should I upgrade? if so, what do I upgrade? Why cant I run every game on max and get a smooth fps?

As soon as you walk out the door of the shop you bought it becomes obsolete Tongue

Looks like a fine build to me.  Could always get an Nvidia gtx 560

radeon 6850 1g.....a legacy product that should be kept in National Museum.

To run crysis on 1920x1080 on max details you need a better processor. I would go for Intel i5 or i7 series, depends on your budget. It's not only the graphic card that matters.

Your issue is the 6850 which is actually slightly outperformed by the last year's 5850.  It's a decent card no doubt, but a 6950 would have performed much better, especially the 2 GB version at your high resolution

Running very demanding games like Crysis at high resolutions requires very high end parts

I agree with Richard, you should upgrade your processor to Sandy Bridge i5 series or i7

Grab another 6850 and crossfire. OC your CPU to 4.0ghz. and/or grab a 6950 / GTX 560 'Ti'

6850 is good for med/high on new games.
