I don't know if these links will help or not, but I always use them for a ready reference for all hardware related things.

TheITWares - Buy Computer Hardware , PC Components , Laptop Computers - One Stop for all Gizmos!! and TechShop.in - Buy Tech Online Now!!!
they are both Indian sites, so what ever prices you see will be in Rupees and mostly inclusive of VAT or sales tax.

I hope u have a monitor.

If u are willing to Overclock, u can even look into intel's offerings.

u cant generalize like that. Be more specific. The performance is close.
EG: Phenom 2 940 is a little faster than a Q9400 in most of the games, but if ur good at overclocking, the Q9400 may JUST get its nose ahead.

also, avoid ITwares, some1 told me that they do some illegal stuff, have not purchased anything frm them. I have bought stuff frm techshop.in, they r fast(usually,in shipping). Their support is pretty helpful too. But if u can, where ever possible get frm a local(good) store.

If u are in bangalore, then computer warehouse is a good store, its on MG road. I get all my stuff frm there.

crysis and farcry 2 should run smooth on max settings. But in Crysis, do not enable AA, and u will be fine. Can say how long it will be before u need to change it. DX11 cards should come in the market in 2010. But it will be a while b4 u need to get a new system. So enjoy it till u can.

if u can w8, there is a price cut for P2 940:
