Answer
Hello, your friend is right about newegg if you live in the US. I assume you do even without checking the zip code.

First question, do you need a case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers,etc. ? Everything except dvd rom?

I would get these and I'll explain why below (Without the above):

1. Quad-core AMD, crossfirex ATI, AMD chipset, this is a spider platfrom motherboard =

2. Quad-core 2.5 ghz processor =

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103249

3. HyperX ram, Kingston, High Quality and fast.

4. ATI Crossfire card, one of the best on the market

5. Western Digital (Get 1-2 maybe...)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218

6. Thermaltake power supply, 750 watts, 80%+ eff. CrossfireX AMD supported

Thermaltake W0116RU 750W Complies with ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V version Power Supply 100 - 240 V CE, CB, TUV, FCC, UL, CUL, and BSMI certified - Retail

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153038

===============================================

Right now at $$1,224.94 without tax or shipping. This includes two hard drives. Now some people will tell you otherwise. I have been building computers for 15 years.

I choose quad-core amd, ati video, and amd chipset board so you can get the spider platform. All stuff is faster together. Also the motherboard supports crossfireX which you can always get another ATI HD 3870 X2 if you want. Also the motherboard can be upgrade with a 3.0 ghz processor later. And 4 gigs of HyperX ram is plenty. I didn't go with a 1TB hard drive because massive hard drives have bad quality control right. Plus I went Western Digital because most of the other hard drive brands have much higher failure rates. Thermaltake 750 watt because 750 will be enough, and the powersupply is over 80% efficent and thermaltake has nice no extra cost warranty on their products.

If you need otherstuff, I suggest a new case, I would have to adjust the other stuff a little. Please respond if you need monitor, case, keyboard, speakers, etc....

Suggestion: Being that you don't know what's good and you think Intel and Nvidia are the best, you better cough up more dough. Those computer specs are hard to beat for the money. You would need at least 2500+... I would suggest this case if you are a hardcore gamer...

LIAN LI PC-P80 Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail

But you can only get that if your going for the AMD ATI stuff... plus the newest video cards out for Nvidia are not SLI supported. I hope their next set is.

This link has a youtube video review for the case. It's worth watching even if you don't want the case.

Cheapest gaming computers?

Mike

Im looking for a computer that is good with games for as cheap as possible... I just want it to run average games like bad company 2 or something. I don't need it to come with a monitor, keyboard, etc... but if it ones with those things and is still a good deal it'd be worth it. So please give me links and short reviews if possible. Thank you!

Answer
Building a gaming computer is the only way to go. Though it could be a little expensive. You will need at least a thousand dollars and the knowledge. I won't recommend anything else.
Look into it a little if you have the time, once you know what you are doing you will not regret it.
