    Well whats your budget?

    When that is answered, lemme advise you this... DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON ANYTHING.

    Your gonna want a very good Graphics Card (NVidia GTX3XX+) I use an NVidia GTX 260 and run SC fine. Next, your gnna want a good CPU. I would recommend on a budget, you get a Dual Core with atleast 2.2Ghz. (Making 4.4 GHZ total). No need for superpower i7's or i series.

    4GB of RAM at the minimum, 8 GB is better. Go Corsair or Ballistic. Dont cheap out.

    Motherboard, w/e works for you.

    Case with good cooling, dont cheap out on fans or a good case, you will regret it when your computer fries and slows down from heat.
