lol.
No seriously. Enough jokes.
Grab an intel.
i7 Sandy bridge. 2600K best bang for your buck + it has an unlocked multiplier.
Intel architecture beats AMDs hands down.
*Cores & clockspeeds matter not, if the architecture lags.
-Also BC2 only uses up to 4 cores.
-Intel has a 6 core CPU with 12 threads atm.
For GPUs.
If you & your games prefer / run best on Nvidia.
- GTX 570 is best bang for buck.
If AMD (AMD has a slight lead on Nvidia).
-6970 or 6970 Crossfire if you can afford.
RAM:
12-16gb of 1600mhz.
More is better, you can disable the paging file (providing you have no programs that are SPECIFICALLY designed to run on the paging file).
Also you can make a ram drive and the "virtual ram drive image can be loaded into ram on boot" will give way faster performance than even an SSD. (good for games)
HDD:
1x 2tb cavear green for media.
1x 500gb for programs and other crap.
1x SSD 64-120gb+ for games.
1x 64gb SSD for Windows / Other OS.
PSU:
700W will be fine.
*The DONT NEED list:
-NIC *Motherboard ones are fine these days.
-Sound card *Same as above, unless you are running special audio equipment. Currently the number of games supporting X FI are decreasing so it is a waste of $$$.
-Water cooling.
Apparently new parts will be avaliable in last quarter of 2011. So you might want to hold off until they arrive.
(Will drop current prices and also perhaps the new equipment will give an edge over current tech)
EDIT * Will be interesting to see hows AMDs new 8 core processor compares.
