I would suggest telling us what you want to use the computer for, and how much you're willing to spend.

I would also suggest learning to spell and punctuate, so people will take you more seriously. A few errors in a sentence, people tend to let slide - anyone can make a mistake. Phrases like "u no" instead of "you know" tend to make people look at your post as if you just can't be bothered - and after all, if you can't be bothered to make an effort when you make your original post why would anyone want to help you?

For reference, I would suggest the following specs for a computer;

Core 2 Duo processor, E4300.
2Gb of DDR2, as fast as you can afford.
Intel 965 - based motherboard.
Whichever graphics card is best on your budget - I would suggest an X1900XT or wait for the 8600GT/ULTRA/8800GTS with 340Mb.
About 300Gb of hard drive space.
Windows XP.
A generic case.
A decent PSU.
