What's your budget? I built my computer from second-hand parts for around $500 USD (amd phenom II x2, 4870, 750w psu, 790fx, 4gb ddr2)

Get an AM2+ board (doesn't really matter which as long as you won't be overclocking) and a Phenom II CPU and 4850 and you'll be good!

I think that spec you picked out in the 1st post won't play many newer games from the last 12-18 months old.

LFS - just okay, med-low settings for 60 FPS
