Answer
I can only recommend a built tower with the parts. I will not now, nor ever, recommend a brand-in-a-box for gaming. Here's the list:

CPU - AMD Phenom II X3 710 2.6GHz Triple-Core: $110
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103648
Motherboard - ECS Black Series A780GM-A: $60 ($40 after $20 mail-in rebate)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135075&cm_re=%22a780gm-a%22-_-13-135-075-_-Product
RAM - 4GB PQI Turbo DDR2 667: $86
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820141240
Hard Drive - 320GB WD SATA: $48
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136098
Video Card - GeForce 9500 GT: $55 ($35 after $20 mail-in-rebate)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162019&cm_re=9500_gt-_-14-162-019-_-Product
Optical Drive - LG 22X DVD-RW: $27
Case/PSU - Logisys Black/Silver Case w/480W Power Supply: $30
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811148045
OS - Windows 7 Professional OEM: $140 (Pro has an XP mode which might prove useful with some games.)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116758&cm_re=windows_7_pro_oem-_-32-116-758-_-Product

Total: $556 (-$40 in mail-in rebates to ECS and Galaxy)

This exceeds your specs to make the games run well as opposed to just running. :-)

It seems that a previous poster forgot to include Windows 7. That's not good. I also don't know about that PCUSA company. That price looks too good to be true and I've been around PCs for over 20 years and I've never heard of them. I read their company statement and whoever wrote that sure doesn't have English as their first language.

Answer
The first answer is pretty accurate ^^. Secondly desktops are much better and cheaper for gaming. Thinking about the numbers in my head 1k+ sounds about right for what I put into my computer. I got a decent deal with Newegg they always have great prices so I'm sure without all the discounts I could've reached beyond 1.3k or maybe beyond. Anyway not to sh*t on your parade the best gaming comps I know of come from Origin PC. I've heard good things about Alienware as well.
