What specs/hardware should I get for my new computer?

I'm buying a new computer here in the coming weeks, and would like some input as to the hardware specs that will work for me, without going overboard. Its main use will be for playing Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO and Minecraft. I would like to play Star Wars on its highest graphics settings, and run Minecraft with a few mods and at similar draw distances to the Xbox One version of the game.

Forgot to include budget in there. I can afford roughly $1000 for the tower itself.
