I would look at an i5 or i7 processor, so an x55 or x58 motherboard.
6 GB of ram, will be enough for 5 accounts, and you can upgrade later if you want.
Not sure what to recommend for a video card, aside from two video plug ins.
A low end SSD, purely for the gaming folder is recommended.

I'm using a Logitech G5 gaming mouse.
Scroll wheel, two thumb buttons, three adjustable sensitivity options.
Can insert or remove weights to change its feel.
It might not be the fanciest mouse, but I've had no complaints with it for years.

How much would something like this cost? Considering i don't own windows 7, or even 64 bit XP.

You said you needed the pc to run for 4 years. I would save up more money to get a machine that meets your goals. The machine that Ualaa mentioned may cost you $1200+. Try pricing the items you need at www.newegg.com to find out the total cost to you. Only you know what you need. We can only make some generalizations. Ualaa made you a decent build, go to newegg and start pricing items.

Don't forget the OS. It needs to be a 64 bit OS to use more than 3.5gb of ram.
