RAM: 512 MB minimum, 1 GB if the motherboard can handle it. Hard drive: the biggest available (currently 120 GB, IIRC). Preferably SCSI because of the better access time. Sound card: one with an awful lot of memory. SoundBlaster would be a good choice. Only useful when combined with a good set of speakers. Video card: one with at least 64 MB of memory, preferably 128 MB. Several good ones available. Monitor: 21" (or buy a beamer and project it on the wall). Depending on the type of games, include a steering wheel and/or a joystick and/or a gamepad. And of course, if you have games that support it, a Virtual Reality system to play games.
