Default desktop to go with Dell 24\"

I've decided to purchase the Dell 24" LCD monitor, and need to customize a desktop to go with it. It will be mostly for poker, along with some music/surfing/ect.. Since I've never owned a higher-end monitor like this, I'm unclear on how they affect the need for certain hardware.

1) CPU: AMD dual-core or Intel C2D? How fast for things to run smoothly (ie 3800+/1.9 GHz, 2MB cache)
2) RAM: 1G enough? 2G?
3) Video card: (NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated)/(Integrated Intel 3100) or upgrade to (128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS)

Just hoping to inform myself since I haven't bought a new desktop for 4-5 years.
