Think about this - if you amplify a sine wave by a large factor then 'clip' the peaks off at a fixed voltage level what does the resulting wave form look like?
Op amps don't work by magic so the output of the op amp can't go outside the voltage of the supply rails, so if the op amp is operating at a sufficiently high gain the output peaks will be 'clipped'.
you need to select resistors that set the gain to be the largest number possible, this will make sure the output is getting the greatest amount of clipping.
