If you can afford one, a nVidia GTX 460 (With 1 GB of memory! This is Important!) works Very Nicely with PCSX2.
It supports x4 upscaling easily with the GSdx video plugin that comes with PCSX2.
For CPU you need either an i5 750 (or 760) overclocked to 3.8 GHz, (I'm saving up for an i5 750, myself)
or an i7 9xx series overclocked to 3.8 GHz.
I think there's some Core2Duos, Core2Quads, Athlons and Phenoms you can get instead, that'll be good enough (you'll have to wait till someone else chimes in with details on them), but they'll still need to be overclocked too.
My current rig gets 60 fps most of the time, but some games make it drop down to 45 fps in certain areas.
I'm currently testing Dragon Quest 8. It's usually around 60 fps, but it drops to the 40's while walking around in the field with a deep view.
However, battles are a nice, solid 60 fps.
