I would forget the AMD cpu since they suck for games now, and get this:

a little more $$$:

a lot of $$$:

You need a operating system, do you?
I suggest this one:

cheaper than XP Pro, has DX-10 for games, and has more features.
If you have a little more cash, I suggest getting a better video card, the 8600 series sucks.
Get a 8800 GT like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125081
Its overclocked 100 MHz more than the standard 8800 GT.
You need cooling for the computer, here is a good fan (buy more please):
