He is going to use it for browsing and gaming. He would also like to play crysis on very high at a decent FPS. So what do you think?

You should select a PSU with more juice for a powerful rig like this, namely a quality unit of 650W+. Otherwise you run the risk of not only having a horribly inefficient PSU, but also system instability. Guru3d recommend at least a 600W powersupply with a total of 55 Amps on the +12V rails for crossfire 5770s on a high end rig. By comparison the ModXstream 36 Amps combined.
