the question for a gaming computer depends on your budget.

a bottom end build an be made for as little as $450 (Athlon II X3, 4 GB RAM, GTS 450, in a barebones case and PSU), assuming you have an OS, keyboard, and monitor.

this will run games adequately, but not at maximized settings.

for about $600, you can get a phenom quad core, and a 6850.

around $800 an up its a sandybridge system.
