You want a decent graphics card. Although it comes down to processor power.
You will be set with an I5 / I3 proccessor, 4GB RAM and a decent card, maybe 250MB.

I use an I7 hyper-threaded dual core with integrated Intel4000 graphics (newest edition), and I can hit 850FPS - 950FPS, I also have 8GB ram but only half is used, and only 2GB used for minecraft.

Processor: Mainly Determines FPS (Along with your java version and RAM allowance)

RAM: Determines Play time, reduced crashes, stronger texture packs and longer render distances.

Video Card: Determines FPS / Texture packs / Render Distances.

All 3 are highly important.

kinda over kill.. the human optical organs cant really tell FPS differences apart when they are over 60 FPS

Well you won't need more than a... I3 Processor, or a Core 2 Duo, and 2GB - 4GB of RAM. As for video card, a basic one will do. Should get about 60FPS +

If u have an old computer u most likely can't update them properly I just got a new one and the video card drivers should be most updated. They are probably the most important thing for games and if u want 0% lag. Not sure about ram that much maybe GDION knows?
