Well, how much do you want to spend?

For gaming you pretty much need a newest generation video card (i.e. GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB or 640MB, which is still the best value and powerful enough, AFAIK).

A good board with a good dual core CPU (quad cores are too expensive still, IMHO, and not really necessary).

2 GB of DDR-2 RAM (667 MHz or 800 MHz).

Two S-ATA HDDs (one for the OS one for the games; or two partitions on one big HDD).

A powerful PSU.

And GOOD cooling (there are very good lightweight midi towers out there).

Bye
Thanee
 

somewhere between $1,000 (or less) to $2,000 price range. I about the specs and a friend is building it for me. Its more about the case for good performance and easy transport to LAN parties.
