If your only interested in the smaller indie games you don't really need a powerhouse PC.

Bingo. Unless you're tuly looking to mod some of the top lookers on any platform (the Crysis series, Skyrim, or just playing Battlefield 3 in Ultra), you don't need a monstrous rig. 

Might I suggest, depending on your finances and preferences - 

- an i5 (for gaming, higher is not currently needed) CPU (or AMD equivalent)

- 8GB DDR3 RAM

- GTX 570 (or AMD equivalent)

Just a start. That's moderately powerful and will provide all of your Indie gaming needs with plenty of FPS. Need more advice, myself and many other PC gurus (Disolitude, Zarx, Zero, Pezus, Ssenkadavic for ex) are around to help out.

Why a GTX 570? A GTX 660 Ti performs better, uses less power and is cheaper.
