That's a pretty loose definition, but to run "almost every" game is going to cost you well over $1000. A significant portion of that expense is going to be a video card.

Do you have a price limit?
And I'm under the assumption that your not biased towards either AMD/Intel and Nvidia/ATI correct?

With the relative prices and speeds today, it doesn't make sense to use a drive smaller than 500gb, specifically a Western Digital Caviar Black.
