The man needs at least an i7 processor with 6 gigs of ram. I don't mind the graphics card choice but don't cheap out on the mobo/case/psu. If you are going to build a gaming machine then invest the money in it; just don't build a half ass one then scratching your head and wondering why the visuals looks so crappy and game is lagging.
