Okay, Here we go.

Intel:
i5-750 w/ P55 mobo of choice.
aftermarket cooling w/ AS5 (CM Hyper 212+ should work nicely.)
GTX 460 and maybe a cheap PhysX card. (9600GSO/9500GT/GT 240/9800GT)
A WD Caviar Black 6GB/s HDD and maybe a 60GB SSD.
4GB of Ripjaws or other memory
Cheap Optical drive with good reviews.
650 or 750w XFX PSU, Corsair PSU, etc. (GOOD BRAND. DON'T SKIMP ON A POWER SUPPLY.)

Case of your choice, I like The HAF series, the Tempest EVO from NZXT, Cooler masters 690 II cases... etc.

AMD:
1055T w/ motherboard of your choice.
aftermarket cooling w/ AS5 (not sure about a cooler though.)
HD 6850/6870
Same HDD choices.
Same ram choices
Cheap Optical drive with good reviews.
650 or 750w XFX PSU, Corsair PSU, etc.
