A. A power supply (PSU). 6-700 watts, probably. Antec is a good brand.
A case. I like Cooler Masters, I have an Elite 430. Could go with anything though.
A motherboard. ASUS is a good brand. Get a couple of PCI-e slots and UEFI BIOS, will make your life easier.
Some RAM. I like Corsair-probably 1600mhz, 8 gigs should be enough.
A CPU. I like AMDs-Intels are really pricey. Go all-out, get an FX-8350.
A CPU cooler-Cooler Master 212 is considered the budget king.
A hard drive. You could get a solid state, they are fast. At least 7200 rpm.
Graphics card. nVidias are much longer lasting and lower temp then ATIs, in my experience.
An operating system. Windows 7 will cost about $100. You could crack it if you want and not pay-illegal software piracy though.
Thermal paste for the CPU. This stuff is cheap-get some Arctic Silver 5.
Pricewise, you are looking at (within your budget)
A $50 PSU.
A $50 case.
A $150 motherboard.
$50 worth of RAM. Go to 16gig if you want.
A $200 CPU.
$30 for a CPU cooler.
$150 for a graphics card.
$50 for a hard drive.
$100 for Windows.
$10 of thermal paste.
If you have the extra cash, get a solid state drive. Or skimp a little on other parts and get one-not to much though.
$100 for a solid state drive. That will get you about 100 gigabytes. I would recommend OCZ, I have had some good experiences with those.
You could numbers I gave, or drop the SSD. Don't go to only a SSD-they are pretty small.
Now-compatibility.
The PSU needs to support the system. Here is a PSU calculator. http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/
The case needs to support the motherboard form factor.
The motherboard needs to have the same CPU socket as the CPU, the same DDR level and frequency as the RAM.
The CPU cooler must support the CPU socket.
You could get some new fans-the Elite 430 I mentioned comes with some. Noctua and Scythe are both very quiet. Noctua is expensive though.
That's it-hope this helps.

What is the best laptop for my budget?
Q. I currently have a gateway desktop computer and I'm thoroughly unimpressed with how crappy it is. Basically I want a good gaming computer, (doesn't have to be amazing but I'd like to be able to run a decent amount of games). My budget is anything under $1000, but I'd prefer to go under 800. I prefer Dell and Toshiba computers but if there are better computers for a reasonable price please name them. Links would be greatly appreciated.
A. My recommendation for the best cost:performance in a notebook for gaming is ASUS. I agree with sinister's selection as to the model ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220566 ) with the GT240M. It's the best GPU you can get in a laptop without taking a gun to your budget.Additionally, Newegg.com is an excellent vendor.
I've owned an Asus for 17-18 months, it's a fantastic value and they are solid as anything you could ask for. I also paid about $1000 and even today I've yet to find anything it cannot run from Crysis to GTAIV or Supreme Commander. And that was a year ago.
Since they're your preferences: Toshiba Laptops are also excellent, most are not suited well to gaming. However, Dell laptops, especially those spec'd to gaming on the XPS line, have a tendency to overheat without an additional cooling solution.
