Half these parts come from

What I would like to know, however, is what I should look for in both the graphics card and CPU if they're gonna be used mainly for gaming. You see I don't actually know what half the numbers mean. What I do know is that usually the higher the number on whatever spec the better. However, it would seem that some numbers mean more for gaming purposes than others. If anyone could explain this to me so I know what to look for and can make comparisons by my self that'd be excellent.
