I have spent ~500 euro on my last PC (I used a online pc builder, and assembled it myself). I can run every game I tried on high settings (Crysis 2, Mafia 2, GTA IV, Farcry2) I get arround 30fps, my specs are;
MSI P55-GD65 motherboard
Intel core i5 750 running overclocked, stable on 3.4GHz
4GB RAM DDR3
NVIDIA GTS450(512 MB) by MSI which is the overclocked version of the standard GTS450
I run my games on 1600x900, although if you look forwad to the upcomming games, which will require more resourced eventually, I would go with a new version of the core i5 or i7 (or look into some of those AMD, I have friends who use them, its cheaper and almost gets the same result) for a GFX card I would go a little higher aswell, personally I preffer NVIDIA, look at brands like MSI or XFX for graphic cards.
