Here are the things I would invest my money into.
AMD 8core processor
4 ram slots with ddr3 1600mhz capability
2x pci-express x16 slots
Any modern video card with minimum 1gb but prefere 2gb buffer x2(if you want to spend the money which you dont need to do) BTW I prefere Nvidia Cards but others will argue otherwise.
Sata II x4 (minimum prefere 6)
USB 2.0
SSD Sata 2 drive (32/64gb is fine, you want to install operating system files and core games only)
Dual monitors. If you don't already have this you need to spend your money here over any other peripherals. It makes a world of difference.

I'm a bit apprehensive about going with an 8 core processor because I honestly don't do anything that requires that (streaming, rendering, video editing, 10x different things at once, etc.), but the price difference is very attractive while still maintaining great performance overall.
Also, what has your experience been mixing AMD CPUs with Nvidia GPUs?
