I have done a lot of research into buying a new mid range PC that will handle COD with ease.... And the spec I decided on and ordered is:

INTEL Core i5 2500K Quad Core (3.3Ghz) - Can be overclocked nicely
ASUS P8Z68-V LX Motherboard (NEW Z68 CHIPSET)
CORSAIR 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
ATI HD 6950 2048MB (With VGA, DVI & HDMI)

Like Tacoma said, the 2500k is a very good chip with some extremely impressive bench speed tests!

Cost of my PC was a little over $1300

I agree completely, the 2500k and the Radeon 6950 seem to be the best bang for the buck.

And as far as running il2 COD, im running very high settings 1920x1080 with no problems, i dont have the urge to turn settings down so it must be good enough. The odd dip in FPS in unusual places but i know its not my hardware and just the result of a poorly optimized game engine (In fact it actually "feels" like the game engine is the problem, it really does). Because Crysis and Metro 2033 run great on high settings.

And im very excited that we can expect even better preformance in the next patches, seems like more of a good thing.
