Best gaming rig for $2000

[Rip the Jacker]

I want to be able to play Crysis MAXED out, and any game decent quality in the next 1-2 years, could someone point me out to some nice prebuilt systems?

I was thinking of something like 3 Gigs of ram, 8800 GTX (768 MB RAM), and Core 2 Quad 6600 2.4 GHz

GPU: 8800GTX

CPU: C2Q

Memory: sounds good.

Cooling: Aftermarket heatsink like the Tuniq Tower. High quality air soultion or a mid-grade water solution, then OC it.

Mobo: any P35 board for good OC's.

Oh yeah, Crytech said that this game will be playable with a 8800GTS, 2 gigs of RAM, and a C2D. Now, what their definition of "playable" is a mystery. For all we know it could be 25FPS.
