1. All depends which games you want to play, and those depend most heavily on the video card you get. Youll be fine with any Core 2 processor, and 2-4 Gb of memory As far as GPU goes, just get one that has 512 mb. The are many variations in this range though, you should be able to get one from $75 to $300 depending on how many processor cores, shaders, memory type, speed, it has Those are pretty mid range games. Just go for a 9800 GT or a 4850 Radeon HD
2. Whats your budget? I can build a very good computer that can handle just about any game there is for about 750 dollars, AND using all current technology. I just built one on NewEgg for 462.00, and thats using current technology but not the fastest. Prices can go down from there.
