GeForce GT 520 1GB PCI EXpress 16X dual head, HDMI
500.0 GB Hitachi 7200RPM SATA2, UDMA 300 8m cache

Ethernet network adapter (onboard)
PowMax Black Mid Tower ATX Case w/ Front USB

What is your budget? For ~$500-700, you could probably swing an i3-2100 and a much better GPU. The i3 outperforms many of AMD's Phenom II X4s in games, and the better GPU makes a more significant (and visible) difference in your games.
