Seeing all the different cards/motherboards/processors to choose from is a bit intimidating for a newb like me.

I would like to create an optimal gaming machine. My budget is $5000 max, though I would prefer the $1000 to 2000 price range.

I heard the Nividia 8800GTS 512MB is a great graphics card. I would like a system capable of playing the following games smoothly:

Doom 3, Half Life 2, possibly Crisis, Sims 2, Tomb Raider Anniversary, etc....
