This is what I'm considering for parts, if I build my own PC:
Asus or Gigabyte motherboard with dual PCI-E x16
4GB DDR 3 RAM
OCZ PSU over 600 watt (I forget how much, maybe a 700 watt unit)
I'm looking at two cases; one recommended from Outfoxzero
I'm thinking of getting a Phenom II x2, but I might get a Phenom II x4 955
Graphics card
750 GB hard drive
I'm not sure what to do for a graphics card. I read some newegg reviews of the 5750, a card I wanted to get...people were saying it won't work with Windows 7 64-bit...the OS I want. So I dunno what card to get. I could always upgrade to a DX 11 card later. I will look into getting a 4850, maybe a 4770 (I know the 4850 is better).
I might also want to build my own PC because it will save money and instead of one big bill, I can spread out the money I spend.

I'd suggest getting a SATA optical drive since SATA cables are easier to manage than the old IDE ones (although the SATA cable connectors are a lot more fragile).
