Included,
A quad core CPU with hyperthreading which will help - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/288?vs=287

16GB of RAM

A Z68 motherboard - http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/motherboards/2011/05/13/what-is-the-intel-z68-chipset/1
Check out some reviews for this board,

A 120GB SSD to run the O/S and applications/games + a 1TB HDD for storage.

A IPS panel monitor to give the best colours and contrast.

Check out the case,

Theres a fast Nvidia GPU that supports CUDA,
http://developer.nvidia.com/what-cuda

The motherboard supports symetrical SLI at 8X/8X so adding a further GTX570 will be easy.

The PSU has modular cabling and plenty of power for a GTX570 SLI setup.

Finally the keyboard has anti-ghosting and theres the great MX518 mouse and 2.1 speakers.
