For a desktop, well any computer you would want to look for things for it's general purpose. For a standard computer, you want at least 3gb ram at this point, 4gb or more is recommended. You would want a Intel Core 2 (this would be Core 2 Duo, or Quad), Intel i5, Intel i7, or on the AMD side, Anthlon or a quad core Phenom. You would also want a 64bit operating system rather than the former standard 32bit, that way you can use more than 3.2gb of ram in your system. Windows XP, Vista, and 7 all have 64bit versions, though I suggest going with 64bit Vista or 7. It is advised that to keep future compatibility with newer operating systems, to have a dedicated graphics card that way, you will get the most out of your ram since your gpu won't be sharing ram with the rest of your system. Hard drive size would very from person to person, though you should go with 320gb.
