i7 950 X58 With SLI GTX 280 Running original Crysis in 2024

I built this as a generally period correct gaming build from 2008/2009. There are a few quality of life things to make game testing a little more viable, particularly substantially more storage than a pleb like me could ever have afforded in 2009, but the gaming potential is the same. I am going to be doing many upgrades over the coming weeks to this build, this is just kinda testing the rough draft. Getting a machine up and running with Windows 7 was somewhat of a challenge to say the least. I spent a whole weekend troubleshooting this build, but its working now, and its awesome. This build is:
3.06Ghz Intel Core i7 950
ASUS Sabertooth X58 Motherboard
Dual GTX 280s Running in SLI
12Gigs Corsair XMS3 Memory
1TB SSD + 3TB Hard Drive
Currently running stock Intel cooler
850 Watt Corsair Power Supply
NZXT H500 Case
Windows 7 Ultimate
