For intel, you'll want an i5 or i7. The 4GB of RAM is the minimum standard these days and its normally sold in 4GB 'kits' anyway, doesn't really matter what brand. Get whatever HDD, the bigger the better. If you have spared cash, you can get an SSD, heaps faster than a normal HDD but more expensive and not as much storage space. For the graphics card, you want either a nVidia GeForce GTX 550, 560, 570, 580 or a ATI Radeon 6830, 6850, 6870, 6970. Basically, the higher the number, the better it is but also the more expensive. A 580 or 6970 are both $500+ whereas a 550 or 6850 are <$250. Don't worry about the sound card, all motherboards these days have that built in. Steam is a digital distribution platform if you were wondering why it requires 'Steam' for activation.If you give us a budget then we can tell you what to get. As I wrote for the graphics cards, prices vary heaps and a gaming machine can vary from a <$1000 super budget thing to a >$5000 beast like what Stainless or Headsex has got with screens and graphics cards galore.
