Looking for a budget PC that can still run high-end games

I'm not looking for a computer that can run Crysis at highest settings perfectly, but rather one that at least can run it at medium/high with minimum problems. Unfortunately, I really only have $2,500 to spend on it (and building is out of the question for me). So, does anybody know of a PC in this price range that will give me a lot of bang for my buck?

I know very little about PCs to be honest (except how to play games on them :P), so I very well might be asking for something impossible. But, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

you do know that you could just buy the parts yourself then pay someone $50 to build it for you, all you would have to do is just install the programs. oh and rofl sonce when was $2,500 not a lot of money.

the above is an okay site, but you would really save money if you just built it yourself. oh and that doens't come with a monitor, here is one

oh and this system should max anything thrown in its way, and it should run crysis really well. this is a very high end computer.

Ok, first off don't ever buy from ibuypower. Second of all, 2500 dollars is a great budget and you can probably get a great rig for that amount of money. If you aren't willing to build it yourself, I am going to go ahead and recommend a dell/hp/alienware/voodoo/falcon or any other mainstream manufacturer that has a line of "gaming" pcs Andrew0987

But what's wrong withIBuyPower? It looks actually like a pretty good company to me, and that's pretty cheap for a high-end gaming computer, especially considering that it has a GeForce 8800 Ultra.

One concern I did have, though: Will that motherboard(eVGA NForce 680i SLI Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0 Dual PCI-E MB) and processor ([=== Quad Core ===] Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600 (4x 2.4GHz/8MB L2 Cache/1066FSB)) and my 2GB of ram be enough to handle a game like Crysis? Again, I know little about computers, and I'm really only asking since these were 3 of the few things that weren't put at the maximum price. Thanks!

Be smart and do what I did.

Buy parts invididually (SOOOO much cheaper), then go to a shop and give them $50 to make it for you. There you have an amazing computer right there. And for 2500... man you could have almost everything top of the line.
