Recommendation for a CPU - Something from the Sandybridge range.
They're relatively cheap, but deliver giant bumloads of power and with a £20 third party cooler stay cool even on heavy workload - They OC like bosses too, if you want to do that, but I never did and my PC runs everything max with the i5 2500k range, so..
If you want you can go for extreme i7 sandy, or i3 or i5. All great CPUs.
Also if you aren't getting SSDs, get some Samsung Spinpoint F3s.. They're large, and are the fastest loading harddrive apart from SSDs. They even beat the Velociraptor in some tests.
