Since games are getting bigger every day, i would recomend you get atleast 500GBs extra, just so you can have as much stuff as you want, but you got to be careul, to place your favorite games in the SSD (solid state drive) so you get maximun performance there.

This is where you get to chose, i like nvidia better, dont ask me why i just do. But you can also go ATI and would be fine, dont go and get the newset cards, usually they will give you a boost but will be too much cash, so get something still new but a little cheaper, and sicen we can go SLI, get 2.
