How much do you have to spend?
Definitely try and talk to @Alen
also this build is pretty old so make some upgrades to it and you'd be sweet

For that you can make a great PC
I'm not that good with them myself though
I'll make sure Alen see this though he would have the best advice for you.

Holy crap
Do you know how to read?
He's custom building it $1700
Why would you get an asus If you have that much

CPU: get the 955, it's good enough and far cheaper
RAM: if you're getting 1333MHz at least make it better than CL9 or go for higher frequencies (you can probs get cheap 1600MHz / CL8 ram)
HDD: absolutely stay away from Barracuda drives, get a Spinpoint F3 instead.
GPU: I would go with the 2GB version but meh, if you want the 1GB it's still worth buying
