Both infracted. Learn to read the rules. You clearly both have on idea what you are talking about. Stop posting here if all you are going to do is spam.
To the OP, do you want parts to build a PC or do you want a premade one?

suggested pc specs
Intel Core2Quad Extreme Performance (3.2GHz) (4 cores)
8gb Ram
4gb Video
1TB HARD DISK
Why hold back? Why not just splurge for the bionic computers while your at it...
Seriously though, I suggest...
4GB of ram
ATI 4870
Quad Core (Although many programs dont use mutli cores now, they will in the future. Plus it is nice if you are planning on Dual Boxing in say a MMO.)
But alot depends on your Budget....
TBH, anything over 1gb of video ram and 4 gb or ram is just overkill...

Just for a reference.. 1,500 Euro = 1,992.03 US Dollar
I'll be back in a bit, need to run to work real fast to figure out some punch details. When I get back I'll see what I can cook up for you!

personally i would get a nice dell XPS 720
otherwise, when buying a computer, look at who makes it and the quality of their service. dont get something like HP for gaming. yes their specs are good and they are cheaper than others, but the quality of their stuff is a lot lower than others and most of the parts in the computer are not upgradable.
with the dell XPS line (all of them) you can upgrade almost everything in the box, and you will have some good space inside for other parts.

2GB ram is running really low these days, i, myself build a new rig with 12GB corsair dominator PC3-15000 in it. But blackhawkx, i suggest you to go for core i7 setup, even 920 can pwn QX core 2 processors and its a hell lot cheaper and faster.

2GB is fine, but that's just it, it's fine. Memory is cheap and it gives you a huge boost, imo 2GB is the min to run things in vista properly. I would definitely advice 4GB.
You could go quad core, but it's not necessary, hardly anyone uses quad core, it's mostly just people who encode stuff. For dualboxing MMORPG's a dualcore is plenty, afterall these games are made to work just fine with a single core.
Like i've said, 4GB is just fine, videocards normally only go upto like 1 gig, i think you can only reach that number by going 4x.

Absolutely overkill, well except for the HDD, which isn't anything special at all, my brother has 6TB in his server alone.8gb Ram
4gb Video
1TB HARD DISK

as Gohan wrote...
the new games are running well with 4gb ram and a graphic card with 1gb....
you do not need quad core as your computer software will not read the 4 cores , so you can use a dual core or a single core too.
i do not prefer windows vista for games because you need some patches for your hardware to run some games... you can see it in callofduty . so better use the old winxp

Actually if you are going to play new games then Vista is a must. As for not using the 4 cores, that's not true, just not with most stuff, but with encoding/decoding more power is better.

Have your own opinion on how well Vista works, but no matter how much you dislike Vista, if you want a fully functioning DX10 then you have to use Vista.
Vista also makes much better use of multiple cores and solid state drives. (SSD ftw as boot drive)

after thousand updates guess yes..
as xp support will end in two years they will handle better the vista + win7
the new games design is for xp/vista but the newest for vista only and the new that will come for win7..
each software has his own benefits , until now i have two computers . 1 with vista and the other with xp...
so i can make many test..
btw now i do not care for these us my new win7 will come... i was waiting 3 years for this
