Good thing you didn't go to the OT for advice.

depends on how well you want to run it

just barely? $4-600 if you build it
max settings? $10-1200 if you build it

a little more expensive for a pre built rig
a lot more expensive for a mac



Also depends on what size servers you want to play on. My rig was $650 (without an OS) and I run BF3 at 1080p full blown graphics, but I rarely play servers iwht 32 and never play 64.

Put a large, LARGE emphasis on the video card. The vast majority of your gaming experience comes from that one piece of hardware. Spend ~250 on just that imo.

It's funny, I assembled my computer 3ish years ago from about 500 bucks.. and pretty much still run medium to high settings on everything for technology.
