So im buying a new computer.....

Although all my computers are AMD, I would really only consider Intel I7 at this point, with a MB capable of 24g (and put in 12G if you can't afford 24 right now using 3 4G moduals).

With 24G ram you dont need SSD, you don't need a super fast cpu (920 is more then fine), you don't need a super video card (unless you want to play at all options on), although 1G is minimimun.
