And I'm not overclocking it.

CPU : Phenom II x4 955
Ram : 4GB, Maybe Corsair Vengeance or Kingston HyperX (Dunno)
Graphic card : Max settings on "mediumcore" games - GTX 460/AMD Radeon HD 6850
HDD : Samsung Spinpoint/Seagate Barracuda 500GB/1TB (Dunno)

There's a few suggestions from me, but it'd be a good idea to let us know your budget.

If you go AMD get a AM3+ mobo.

whats your budget for this build??

If its only for gaming then not much is needed, you can make a good enough gaming pc with only an i3 processor.

I suggest you watch this video, if you're budget isn't high, then go for an AMD machine, because the prices for their processors are considerably less than intel's.

If you want a well rounded system then you're probably looking at an i7-2600(Quad core, hyperthreaded, one core runs two threads, making 4 physical cores, 4 virtual in total of 8 logical cores) , i5-2500, PhenomX6 1100T (or wait for AMD bulldozer 8 Core CPU)

A mid ranged system you can look at a 6870 or GTX 560 for graphics, and always overbuy on a power supply, a 750W or 850w depending on how long you're wanting to keep the computer for, and adds power space for expansion for SLI and crossfire X.

Ram you are fine with 4GB, but Ram is quite cheap so 8GB is affordable.

Good enough gaming PC:

Get at least a quad core i5, i7 or AMD Phenom CPU.

Get a new ATI 6800 or 6900 series card.

Get a Samsung F1 1TB HD (They are fast) Or get two and RAID them (Very fast).

If you plan on overclocking make sure you get a 8+1 power phase motherboard.

Get an aftermarket CPU cooler.

Spend a bit of money on a good power supply. I recommend Corsair.

Use Windows 7.

CPU : i5 2500K
Ram : Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB
Graphic card : EVGA GTX 560
HDD : Any cheap one will due for moderate gaming

CPU : AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition 3.7Ghz ($170)Ram : G.SKILL Ripjaws 2x4GB 1600MHz DDR3 ($52)Graphic card : EVGA GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 ($200) / XFX/Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 ($190/$175)HDD : Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA III 6.0Gb/s ($80)

I have all this exact same graphic card and processor and ram =D its a nice build. can play almost anything high-maxed out!

I have 8gb ram and a phenom 955 black edition
