Currently a C2D 6750, 4 GB 6400 OCZ Reaper and an ATI 3870 are probably the best bang for your buck, using DX10 and Vista 64. How that will run AoC nobody but the closed beta testers knows I guess.
I have that setup with a 3850 256 MB and am running LotRO on max settings flawlessly.
edit: 4 GB are much more important than a slightly better CPU or graphics card. Major difference.
Just to give you guys something to compare to, here are my results from the PVP weekend:
System
C2Q E 6600 @ 3.0ghz
4gb of ram
8800GT OCed to 650/1900
Vista Ultimate 64bit
(all tests at 1600x1200)
Medium Settings (no AA): 60+ FPS
Medium Settings (8xAA): 55-60 FPS
High Settings (no AA): 55-60 FPS
High Settings (4xAA): 45-55 FPS
Basically I tried to keep a good overall frame rate with the most amount of AA I could get before it would drop down. I will say though that game looks just as good on medium as high, and you could hit medium settings on a modest graphics card.
I want to buy a new computer but. i do not want to build one. i was thinking of getting a XPS 720 from dell with 4gb ect. but if anyone know any better ones please tell me..
price range 1000-2000$ looking for high setting for the game and secs to zone in

You can build a very nice gaming system with that much money. I personally think you would get more bang for your buck if you were to go that route.
