Waddup guys, names Byron, but you can call me byronizzle, bnizzle, b, byronic man. Whatevers clever.Im 20 years old about to be 21 and I was born and raised in st.louis missouri. Been a gamer since the age of 3 with the NES RIP. After that was the genesis, 3 gameboys, dreamcast, N64, PS, PC, PS2, XBOX, and then 360. At about the age of 10-12 I started goin up to malls alot around the stl area and get my game on in alot in arcades, I can remember waiting in line for my turn at Tekken or MK3U....The Glory days of arcades. At about the age of 15 seemed as though the arcade scene had just died around here :( Main interests include gaming, anime, indie movies, partying and women. I mainly play alot of FPS, Fighters, and RPGS. I will own at fighting games till the day I die. Right now im playin lost odyssey for the 360. Stuck on the last battle in the backyard which is really pissing me off. Favorite games id have to say are FFVI, FFVII, FFX, FFXII, hate to say it but WoW, RE2 and 4, Tekken 3 and 5, 4 was gay. Cant forget about Soul Calibur 2 and 3. Oh those were the glory days when 3 first came out. Plan on goin back to school here in a lil for audio production. Really thats all there is too me. Hit me up on aim if youd like. Byronizzle05

8800gt or 9600gt gfx cards are the good cheap ones at the moment. They run just about everything well, even crysis is playable at nice graphics. Should run aoc good.
To save money look at the intel core 2 duo or quad processors, around $100 to $200. The new amd ones are good in their price range but cost more than is needed i think.
2gb ram is enough, 4gb is better. Id go for 4gb corsair ram cos its $85 at newegg, god i hate america... so cheap.
If you cant be bothered thinking, get an Asus P5N - E motherboard, its cheap but good. Its what i have.
Make sure you get a case with good airflow. Dust build-up is not a good thing, as proved when my friend cleaned his out and it all of a sudden its running as fast as its supposed to again.
You can get monitors pretty cheap, or if you save enough cash on everything else you can get something awesome. Its up to you.
i built mine and its the nuts. i wouldnt go for ddr3 just yet as it costs a bomb, so i would hit up a few gigs of ram, the nvidia 880gts or that ati one (cant remember what its called). i have the asus 22" widescreen monitor and its amazing.
ajax is right with the dust problems. also, f you are putting it under a desk of something put some fans that blow air out the front so it wont back up heat at the back, as my one does that. (reminds me, i really should shift my fans about).
hope that helped.

I'd recommend a quadcore if you are going to use it for AoC anyway. It still needs to be patched to support dx10 and quadcores, but they have become pretty cheap so you might as well get one for the coming years. A Q9450 or something looks pretty good, if expensive. Just get any matching Asus motherboard for around 100 bucks.
4GB RAM is nice, especially since it's cheap as hell nowadays. Add a $160-$200 8800GT and you're set. With some 750GB harddisk it should end up around 550-750 bucks including the case, depending on your processor.
I'd just focus on how much you want to spend on the processor, lookup the details of matching motherboards (P5K ?) and go for either DDR2 or DDR3 ram depending on what your motherboard supports.
