check out my thread a couple of months ago:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=111870&hilit=building+computer

in the end came up to around $680 after MIR, and i listed the links as well. you can start from there and downgrade whichever you like.

i would downgrade the PSU, because 750W right now is really overkill.

to get a real good gaming rig you might want to get up to $1000 because it will last you ALOT longer. or i was planning to skip on everything then upgrade from there. like for example the CPU was going to get a dual core at first then once quads get cheap get on of them.

for sites i like tigerdirect and newegg also when your getting parts read the review and look it up on youtube it helps.

by gaming rig i ment to play games rather then a awesome game bound pc.
however i should probably invest more in gfx card and processing power rather then a sound card and other mobo stuff that was what i meant
