I'm looking for a computer that will kick ass and play games on high for a while. A computer that will hopefully be able to keep up with new games graphics for a while. I absolutely suck with computers. I've been a console gamer for a long time but I want to get into computer gaming. My current computer can run WoW at 25-30 fps on the highest settings with AA at max. But It can hardly play games like company of heros or UT3. I'm looking at this computer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8 2E16883229054 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229054) Is this a good choice? also, will it run crysis on high settings? it'll be running at a resolution of 1680x1050. although currently my monitor is 1024x768.
For 1500 bucks you could go freaking crazy here:

great computer overall. it wouldn't even begin to flinch against left 4 dead. you'd be able to max out crysis on that resolution.
one thing i'd go for is getting the gtx 260 changed to a gtx 260 core 216. the second version of that card. only costs a bit more, but heaps better. everything else looks fine.
but yeah, for that money you could build a better computer. it's much easier than you'd think. hell i'd do it for you for free if you paid for outgoing shipping.

This. If you learn how to build a computer (it's not hard), you could probably get better parts for the same price or cheaper.

The Gamer Infinity XLC is better with dual graphic cards. But what I'm confused with is that it's classified under High-Performance PCs. And the Extreme-Performance PCs looks weaker. Can somebody clarify? Such as this.

Is 2 9800 gtx's better than just one 260? Is It possible for more problems to arise with 2 graphics cards and how much wouldi benifit from duel cards? do you think it would run demanding games a ton better than a 260 nvidia?

I think you should look the i7 options on the Cyberpowerpc website.
