Need help buying a gaming PC

I need to buy a new gaming pc. I have a couple of questions.

Is now a good time to buy? Anything new coming soon? Should I get a 64bit processor?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I would like to stay under $2,000.

 There is a pc on bestbuy.com.  Its a velocity micro for $1400.  512mb gforce 7600GS.  Good deal?

 Is AMD the only 64bit or is the intel dual core duo 64?
 

I have no clue how to do that stuff. Ha. Maybe i should learn.

 Im pretty lazy though.   Im going to end up buying something.

You will always have the upper hand if you build your own computer.  You can get the parts that YOU want, not what a cheap ass manufacturer is going to stuff in a box just so that their overhead isn't so high.

As far as games go, I personally recommend Battlefield 2142, STALKER, Supreme Commander, Command and Conquer 3, FEAR, Battlefield 2, Half Life 2.....
