Hey guys thanks for the quick replies will either of those setups be able to play the new and upcomming games on high settings with at least 45 fps? And also the specs I posted are a bit lower than I actually want, those are just the bare minimums to run a game called c9 so I would like something much more capable of running much higher end games, will those set ups do it?

Two months out is just about six or seven weeks early to be choosing parts. Prices change, combo-deals change.
But you'll be able to do a lot better than the recommended system requirements. For example:

Combo-deal: Athlon II X3 440 Rana 3.0GHz and MSI 880GMA-E45 880G MB $168
4GB A-Data DDR3 1333 RAM $95
Sony Optiarc DVD Burner $20
Combo-deal: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 500GB HDD and OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W PSU $100 and $20 rebate
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100273L Radeon HD 4850 1GB video card $95 and $15 rebate
Thermaltake V3 Black Edition Case $40 and $10 rebate
$518 plus $45 in rebates

This should give you an idea the type of system you'll be able to get for ~$500. In six or seven weeks we might be able to do even a bit better.

FYI
My System
Asus P5E (775) MB
Core 2 E6750 (OC 3.2) CPU
Corsair DDR2 PC1066 (4GB) Dominator
X-FI XtremeGamer PCI
Silverstone OP650
LG DVD
BFG 8800 GT (512 MB) (1GB would have been better)
Cooler Master 692 case (hard drive cage removed for best air flow)
I can run Stalker COP on High/Max with No AA/AF (avg 50-70 FPS) (35-50 if there’s a lot of buildings)
I usually don't have a problem playing most games @ Min High to High with no AA/AF, be on that I don't see much of a difference.
The only thing I will be upgrading will be my GPU (HD5850 or wait for ATI 6000 series
So what I referenced to you should be fine for games now and the next year or two.
