What specs should I use for a Windows-based PC that's suitable for gaming?

Asked by mdy (1152points) August 9th, 2007

My 5-yr old PC is dying on me so I'm saving up for a new one. I'm partial to games like Age of Empires, Civilization, and Emperor.

Specs I currently have in mind: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4g CPU, 512mb PCIE videocard, 2gb DDR2 RAM, plus a 160+ GB SATA hard disk drive.

Should I include anything else in my specs? And how much should I expect to pay for something like this?
