depends on what resolution you'll be playing in.

if you're gonna get a 512Mb GpU i suggest an 8800GT or a HD4850 (i use one), if you can stretch your budget a bit you might consider a HD4870, or if you are in a tight budget constraint, go for a 9600GT. (check up on HD4830 once though)

I would recommend AGAINST the 945GZ, go for a MSI P45 instead, they're good overclockers and have fine expansion possibilities,

2GB RAM is sufficient to run most games at 1280x1024, and Core2s are generally good overclockers.

A GPU is generally MORE important than your other components, but having poor CPU and RAM will bottleneck it and having a poor Mobo will in turn bottleneck your entire system.

You will also need a good PSU to run all that stuff, say a CM 600W or a Corsair 450VX. If you are a heavy downloader, i will also suggest a large HD, trust me you will NEED it before long. a 500GB cost my friend about 3 grand.
