i7 860 or 870 with a good Socket 1156 mobo and DDR3 dual channel RAM.
Radeon HD 5870 graphics (plays Crysis with ease and it is more powerful than a GTX 285)
Caviar Black or Velociraptor drives... you can also get a SSD.
DVD or Blu-ray drive.
HAF 932 or Antec 1200 case. You could also get a Cosmos.
Creative sound card.
