Go with the amd, do not get that intel.

As a personal preference, I take a liking to Cooler Master cases. I built a pc for a friend and used this, very nice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119196

As for power supplies, go with a silverstone or corsair.

Should be, I haven't upgraded in awhile so I'm not on the bleeding edge of knowledge as far as what the best cards are on market right now. Somebody else could probably do a better job recommending something there.

You'll want a full size ATX motherboard though, none of that micro atx stuff.

From the list on the "Will My PC Run It" thread you're graphics card will only get High settings and not Ultra. This however will and I highly suggest it. -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908

If I have some time I'll through together a little build for you. I enjoy looking at PC parts :P

No problem, this will be about $100 more expensive than normal due to the ridiculous HDD prices at the moment.

This build comes out to $589.93 with the mail in rebates, and should let you play most games on High and some on Ultra.

Case + Mouse Combo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103011 (excellent cooling)
HDD + Optical Drive combo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145299 + http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118067
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138318
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231275
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808

That's a pretty decent build for the price. Tig Ol Bitties might have some better insight on it though, he knows a lot more about this stuff than I do. He could probably save you some money. I suggest posting in the Tech Thread or sending him PM.
