here's what you should look for..


-Best Mobo
-Best RAM
-HDD's 10,000rpm Raptor X2 or 3
-socket 939 AMD Processor, the best one you can afford
-cheapass case lol

and the 3D-Card is up to you...

Antec Sonata II case $104
Hitachi T7K250 250GB SATA300 drive $127
Abit AN8-SLI $135
Cosair XMS TwinX2048-3200c2 (2GB CAS2 DIMMs) $300
2x 7800GT $800
NEC 3540A burner $42
Athlon X2 4400+ $559

That leaves you $733 for mouse, keyboard, and monitor. Assuming your mouse and keyboard are just $50 combined, that is $683 left over. The ViewSonic VP171B-2 is $329. So you could have an extra $350 to invest in like the Ahtlon X2 4600+ or three more hard drives in a RAID0+1 configuration. Or you could just use all $600 on the ViewSonic VP201b, which would still give you ~$80 left over that you could use to ummmmm... eh, bump up the mouse and keyboard to wireless?

doh. edited my post. originally I had two hard drives in there but cut one out to allow more money for a monitor.
