I have Mac Mini. Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53 Ghz, 4 GB DDR3 RAM, nVidia 9400M and 320 GB hard disk. I won't call it powerful at all. It is 3 year old Laptop hardware at best.

I don't intend on selling it, but I'll mention that it can't run Assassin's Creed and Civilization V.

Other games which you mentioned will run.

AMD A6-3650 Quad Core processor with built-in Radeon HD 6530D graphics - 6400
Gigabyte GA-A55M-S2V - 4400
4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM - 1700
500 GB WD/Seagate hard disk - 4000
Zebronics Bijli cabinet - 1000
Corsair CX430v2 power supply - 2300
24x DVD Writer - 950

Total = ~21000.

This is without monitor, keyboard and mouse. Spend extra for those.

You can save some money by going for AMD A6-3500 Tri Core processor with built-in Radeon HD 6530D graphics @ 4800.
