You're best to look around at a variety of forums, and do some reading and research.
A good place to start would be "Techspot's" guide. They've made three lists for a budget, mid-line, and high-end PC.
http://www.techspot.com/guides/159-buying-guide-200904/
It'll give you an idea of what components you'll need, and some you might want. Just keep in mind that the setups include monitor, keyboard, etc.
The other thing to keep in mind is to always ask yourself: 'Do I need this?' For gaming, you don't need the most powerful CPU, and in quite a few cases, people buy components that are expensive, and do not provide a huge boost in performance when compared to ones that are cheaper.
You'll need to do your homework, because asking people what's good what/what isn't always leads to fanboy wars, and nerd-rage. Figure out what you intend to be doing with your PC, what resolutions you want to game at, and whether you want to heavily upgrade in the future, and then people will have a clearer idea of what your goal is.
You might find out that you don't need to spend 1.5K on something you'll love, and for every fifty bucks you save, then that's another chunk of cash you can put to a game, or your bank account.
