Don't worry about specs too much, as long as you have a i5 Ivy Bridge or higher and a decent graphics card. I would say starting point would be 7870 or the 660, if you have the extra cash look into getting a 7950 or 670 if possible. Either way, you don't need a 780 or 290x unless you really have some cash to blow. pay good attention to motherboard and power supply though. Make sure you get at least 700W Bronze certified power supply to ensure you will have a reliable power supply that can take any upgrades you make to your PC. If you can afford modular go with that, if not don't worry about it, it's just a little more work. If you have no plans on OCing, don't waste money on the OC capable processors and coolers. Make sure you get a SLI/Crossfire capable motherboard in case you decide you want to upgrade down the road. That is all I can reccomend, really. Good luck, I'll try to post a build for you later today or maybe tomorrow :)

That's a very good set, maybe better than what you are looking for, but it should set a precedence of what it should look like. It has a 750W Bronze semi modular PSU, a 270x graphics card (which is very good, not the best card in the world but defenitiely top tier), and a crossfire/SLI capable motherboard. You can probably find similar parts for cheaper, I just threw this together while doing some college essays :P. The RAM especially is really expensive in my build, you could probably find that for cheaper somewhere (also, don't bother going over 8gb. Most games won't ever use more than 6gb, and when the do start to you can just buy another stick of ram). Good luck PC building, it can be a lot of fun your first time :D
