How about this: I post the PCs I'm interested in, you you techno-people rate them in terms of value and running most games at max settings at 1920x1080 on the 23in monitor. Keep in mind, I need this to run MS Office for work as well.
Here is the one I'm leaning towards:

Here is another I'm interest in with a better processor:

Does the i5 2500k processor enhance gaming on any significant level, or will the GPU and RAM do the real work? |
It's mostly your graphics card and RAM that are doing the real work with gaming.
I have been running AMD for years in my PCs and have never had a problem. To be really honest my roommate is running a PC with one of the i7 processors and I swear it takes him at least 30 seconds more to load everything in games.
I honestly couldn't justify spending an extra like 120 dollars on the second rig. I would say go for the first, but either one will be good for you probably for at least 4-5 years of gaming, maybe even more than that.
Your basic question is "Can it run Crysis 2?"
Yes. Yes it can. At maximum settings.
As for Microsoft office, you'll definitely be fine. Lol.
