PC components Choosing Headache

I was thinking of buying a gamer PC that can play games such as Crysis, Supreme Commander and Lost Planet on a really high setting. My budget is anything. But before i buy it, i would like to know some the meaning of some PC terms, what they stand for, what they do and if it is worth buying more or having it higher.
