I am using a computer customization site to build a computer for primarily gaming purposes although it will also be used for other everyday tasks such as internet browsing, word processing, instant messaging, etc.
I would like to be able to run upcoming Directx 10 titles (crysis, etc.), although I am not hardcore to the point where I need them maxed out necessarily, medium to high settings would be sufficient for me provided the framerate is decent.

Grateful for any input anyone has, managed to keep the price under $2,000 which was a goal for me. Didn't include any office software because I already have it and can just install it from the CDs, and no monitor because i can just use my old one.
