Mid range, I'm guessing like a budget of $800?
Main specs will be
Core i5/i3 max cost should be about $150. get the same memory as me, was only $50. max on motherboard should be $100 for video card, look ag the Nvidia 500 series and radon 6900 series 500w PSU, with atleast 40amps on the +12v rail Single 500gb HDD was only lilike50
Then a decent case for around $75 and you should have a really decent gaming PC that will max out some games, but will struggle a little on newer demanding games coming out on high-max settings.

It will be around $1,100-$1,200. After you put in the cost of the desk, mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor.
I would spend around $50 on a good mouse, I would go with Logitech. And then maybe $20 on a cheap keyboard. Would look around $150-$200 for a monitor. Look for something with a 2ms response time, those will be the best ones for gaming. Mind you I got a real good deal on my monitor and desk and only spent $250 on both of them.
That build right there is almost the exact same as mine. I got a little better memory, a much better video card a bigger case. My tower was like $1,200. $140 for the OS, like $60 for some right angle SATA cables, and a DVI-I. Plus I'm running wireless on it, that was an extra $50, and the CPU cooler is $75.
I would go with an aftermarket CPU cooler as well. The stock cpu coolers tend to really suck.

So I was noticing that the Video card is usually one of, if not the most expensive things(Until you get to the extremely good processors) for a build, what exactly does that do? I am gonna assume that it handles all of the visuals besides actually being the monitor.

Yep video card is the most important thing you need for a gaming PC. Mine was $409, and the cpu I got was $220. I can max every game that is right now, and will most likely be able to max out games for aatleast 2 more years that come out. It should equal to atleast 25% of your PC budget.

Holy crap Crysis 3 looks amazing. Of course this is on PC.
On a side note I don't understand why we don't see more developers using CryEngine 3. This engine looks much better than Unreal.
