Oh no, don't get me wrong, I own two in Crossfire, but those are hardly worthy of a 3500 dollar PC from some manufacturer.I'm still trying to justify upgrading to some 5870's, or possibly a 5970 :P

Try playing Crysis on high resolution on your buddy's $700 laptop, then get back to me. From Notebookcheck: The performance of the entry level G 210M should be somewhere between the GeForce G 110M and the GeForce 9500M G. Therefore, older or less demanding games should run fluently with medium to high details. Demanding DirectX 10 games, like Crysis, are playable only in low detail settings and low resolutions.

I don't really understand some of these. The first one especially. They put in an i7 but only a 4850 graphics card? Don't get me wrong, the 4850s are pretty decent. But why are you skimping there and putting in an overpowered cpu? You can get a $60 cpu that won't bottleneck on any current game. The 4850 at higher resolutions on the other hand...The i7s really only start to justify their costs when you start talking about video editing or other more complex programs. Which they're pretty much a necessity for. But, if you're only gaming it's really just spending a couple extra hundred simply to say you have an i7 in your system.

I think my dream gift this year would be a $1000 newegg gift card.Building my own machine would be so much fun. Alas, I'm a poor college student. :(
