Since i don't know ur shops, some general hints:
CPU: Intel i5-2500(k) or i7-2600(k) the k is optional, doesn't really matter for u
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 560 Ti or GTX 570
RAM: 4-8 GB
And propose ur comp here before u buy it. So we can give u hints

The graphics is not good, it is a 550TI instead of 560 Ti
also the CPU could be a bit better though it would be ok. THat's the problem with stock computers. U seldom find the right one, because manufactures cut corners and people even buy that stuff.
A cpu 2300 and 2550k is 30 Euros apart and 55TI and 560 Ti by about 100 euro apart.
If u don't find auch comp then u have to buy a cheaper one but don't expect that u can make it through 5 years performancewise.
