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.
