What type of PC would $2000 buy today?

[Rock_on_2008]

I want to hear what you guys would recommend regarding the thread question. Say I want a PC with Windows Vista and a reasonable graphics card to play Crysis and other games on medium to high settings.

Well please give advice on what PC's you would recommend.

How about a Quad Core PC with and 2 9800GTX graphics card and 4GB of system memory and 21 inch LCD monitor and a Hard Disk Drive of around 500GB?

Or buy  two current generation consoles (PS3 and XBox 360) with lots of cheap second hand games totaling $2000.
