http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd#How_do_I_change_the_default_runlevel.3F
(and surrounding text) tells you this, but you have to know that under
the old System V setup, runlevel 3 was the complete system *without* X
Windows and runlevel 5 was the complete system with X Windows (on
Fedora: other OSes used different numbers).

Hope this helps,

James.
