Q. It needs to be able to run MODERN games like Call of Duty Black Ops and such. Crysis should be playable on MEDIUM settings.
I'm looking for a good prossesor and graphics card. I could care less about the brand though, AMD and Intel are both ok. Would prefer quad core but duel is okay.
MONITOR does NOT have to be included. So 700 and under just for the machine.

A. I have been researching this for a long time actually (read the source) so I already know the best deal on the market. Its a Dell computer. And BTW- how would you like a Hex-Core PC? :)
Your expectations to run Crysis at medium settings are gonna be humble- you are gonna be able to run it at a decent FPS at Max Settings.
EDIT ON COMPUTERNOOB ANSWER: The CPU is not that overpowered- and if it was- wouldnt that be better lol :)?. And like I said- the Radeon5450 is not top-of-the-line but is way more than adequate for his gaming needs. I dont understand this insane need in the gaming world to always have the best.
If he is looking for building his own computer, then you have a point- there would be no reason for not putting in a better GPU. And you need to know what you are doing to build your own computer. I don't recommend it for beginners.
The computer that I am recommending is the Dell Studio XPS 7100. Before I go into explaining this computer and why it is good, let me write the specs:
PRICE: 699.99 PLUS TAX
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English
CPU/Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1045T
GPU/GRAPHICS: ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB
RAM/MEMORY: 6GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMS
HARD DRIVE: 1TB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache
2 Year Basic Service Plan
McAfee SecurityCenter, 15-Months
The Processor is a Six-Core processor. This processor is super fast. However, the Intel equivalent of this processor is like a Core i7-930 processor which is very fast.
The Memory is the next point. It is 6 Gigs of DDR3 Ram which is more than you need. I actually think that 4 Gigs are just fine. The memory runs at a clock speed of 1333MHz- Again- very good and from my benchmarks- it is low latency.
The GPU/Graphics Card is not the best... however I dont think it will pose any issue for a user like you as you dont even want to play games at HD Resolutions&Max Settings. And again- it is still a mid-line dedicated GPU which will provide very crisp, fast graphics.
The HD is a Serial-ATA HD running at 7200RPM (Great again)
What is also great is that it comes with a 2 year warranty...
I would also recommend searching for coupons like free shipping from dell...
Go to the link below for the computer link... If it doesnt work, go to Dell.com and go to the Studio XPS 7100. Choose the standard package as that is what you need. The economy package is completely not adequate due to its mediocre Cpu and Gpu.
IF THE LINK BELOW DOES NOT WORK, CLICK ON THE SECOND LINK AND SELECT STANDARD OR FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ABOVE

If you have any more questions, please write additional details and I will edit my post to answer them... This is unbeatable price and performance though so I would get it without hesitation.

Gaming computer under $700?
Q. Looking to build my own rig, I have nearly everything besides the tower (Case included) just need the parts (motherboard, power supply, graphics card, processor etc. etc.) any suggestions?
A. hi cory, motherboard is your choice asus is easier to use but intel offers so much more so buy one that has a lot of power. because you will need the extra power in your chipset. now this is important stay away from quad I recommend this processor an intel i7 960. amd is a lot more complicated and to buy the right one is a pain. I believe in intel and a 960 is a good gaming processor not unless you want to go with a 980 or a 990 lot more money. now I subscribe to pcworld magazine and they claim that all pro gamers are going to two video cards they are intel 250 to 280 and a Nvidia GeForce 9800gtx proven to keep killer graphics plus keeping your computer cooler. this is important the high powered video cards will check you into crash and burn hotel and it's cold and lonely there. now the rest is your choice but here is something to remember buying your power supply from the same company is important and sony has the best hard drive. your dvd burners should also be from sony not unless you are going blue ray they are sharp but they are expensive and hard to fit in your case. now I know that you mentioned building your own computer and that is admirable but I recommend that you get a computer repairman to build it for you he gets his parts from a warehouse and not mail order his parts are a lot more dependable plus he can give you some more options that I don't have the room to mention. good luck I hope I was helpful to you
