Thumbs Up Best Build for $1500 or less

Hey guys,
Looking to build myself a gaming PC capable (at its best) to run games such as Crysis on high.

Not particular about brands.
No Multi-Tasking
I'll be using XP.
No accessories needed.
No Overclocking
No media encoding etc.
and I live in Western Canada.

any more information needed leave a message.
I'm not technically gifted when it comes to computer parts so please keep the language simple, I don't want to search every other word in wikipedia
