if you live in the US the place to get cheap and or top of line computer parts for a grate price is my fav website www.newegg.com been ordering computer parts from them for 2-3yrs now grate service, prices and fast shipping!
for thous games you need a min of a Intel Dou 2 CPU or grater and recommend a 8800 GTX 512mb video card and AT LEASE 2GB of ram DDR2 or better. For A mobo I would go with ASUS, grate gaming mobo but gigabyte make some good boards too. I prefer ASUS.
P.S. Get a 500W PSU if you get the 8800 GTX video card or the card wont run. Get your self a 200-500GB Hard drive so you got plenty of room for your games. (Age of Conan alone takes up 25GB and World of Warcraft takes up something around 15GB of space.) I know you did not list thous 2 games but was using them for examples how big games are getting now adays. 
Edit: one last thing get Windows XP, Vista just as good as XP and vista's eye candy takes up double the ram which you need for gaming!!!
