First of all... AMD processor (athlon FX is PiMP juice!) and ATI graphics (Radeon 9800 pro RAWKS!) card... SOYO Dragon mother board or any ASUS mother board (gigabyte is cool too)... you also need MAD amounts of ram, 1GB or more of PC2700 DDR or better ~~ can't forget a fast hard drive, don't just go by size, look for seek time to be low and RPM to be high... Need lots of fans and a nice case also, don't go too cheap on that shit because you can ruin your investment...
