before we can tell you what gpu to get we need to know what the resolution you intent to run is.

so first we need to figure out what size monitor you plaining on getting.

well the system MyNameisBrian has posted is good but the resolution of your monitor is 1900 x 1200, which means if you want to play at highest settings you will need either 1 x 5870 or 2 x 5850 or 2 x 275, keep in mind that the 275 gtx does not support dx11.

1000w psu is best so that you have room to grow but a 750w will due also.
