I did a simlar thing about 6 months ago.  Previous computer pov render took 
5 hours, new computer bits do the same scene in 45 minutes, tidy.

Crysis?  at 1080p and every single option turned on I get a minimum of 
30fps+

Metro 2033 is what brings my PC back to reality and at 1080p with everything 
maxed out, the fps can drop to 20 (which is still ok) in a couple of intense 
battles.  Otherwise, its totally fine.
