you dont need a whole lot, not even a gaming pc. an 8600GTS will run things fine, a gigabyte of ram, and bottom of bucket core 2 duo should work fine.

if you want to buy it already made get this computer http://www.avadirect.com/product_details_configurator.asp?PRID=2541 and make these changes( add a crosair 450watt for powersupply, make the harddrive 160gb, add a x2 4600 for processor, add crucial 2x1gb 667mhz, add windows vista basic and lastly add a 8800gt for video card) the price for all of this should be $864

if you want to build then get
