What budget do you have??

I suggest going for the new Intel I7 chip and get an Asus ROG board. Fire in some triple paired memory and maybe a GTX295 and you'll have a rocking setup.

Do you need a whole PC

Case
PSU
CPU
GPU
RAM
HDD

Etc etc More details would be better

apparently intel are leading the market with the multi core dooberies work something round your pricing. Built a good'n dirt cheap couple of years ago still quick.

Depends on price I guess. I just picked up a 1Gb Ati HD4780 gfx card for £120, which plays all modern games pretty much on full and doesn't break the bank. I'm a big fan of buying the second newest of everything as they are usually almost as good yet half the price.

I got a gt7600 something or other over clockers edition when they were still £80+ in the shops for about £30 second hand of ebay. Worth looking for some bits second hand

ASRock P55M Pro, Intel P55, S1156, PCI-E 2.0(x16), DDR3 2400+(OC), SATA 3Gb/s, SATA RAID, Micro ATX


HD-489X-ZSFL - 1GB XFX HD 4890, PCI-E 2.0(x16), 3900MHz GDDR5, GPU 850MHz, 800 Cores, 2x DL DVI-I/ HDTV, HDCP Ready

Hi def... Man that GFX card would rape High def!

Id say thats fine, though I prefer Asus motherboards myself. Oh and the new 1156 pin Mobo's use dual channel not triple so I hear, though you might want to check that.
