Any suggestions? i was thinking about going intel but its too pricey for me...unless someone here can reccomend a system for this price. And for the OEM hard drive will i need to order an extra cable to connect it since its OEM?  im running games at 1440x900 (19 inch widescreen lg).

Will i get free shipping for ordering this much? i have never ordered from newegg before. also, if anyone can reccomend a better power supply for the same price...please do. i have a new dvd drive ill be using in the system so i didnt forget it. suggestions etc, i dont really want to spend over 650...so nothing to pricey if you suggest something. im going to be playing c and c 3, cod2, ut2004, hl2, cs source etc. i also want to eventually play crysis on decent settings which i will upgrade in the future when i can afford to :) comment please!

1. You won't need an extra cable, it should come with the motherboard.  2. Shipping won't be free, probably around $30 because of the case.  Other than that, it looks good. I've never heard of the RAM and PSU brands, so you could consider going for something a little more well known for reliablility.

Okay, lets see, you're on a budget. So, for the memory, Id recommend Geil. They sell memory modules with only 4-4-4 timings for 100 dollars. As for the PSU, I found a PSU from E-Power for 63 dollars with 550 Watts, 38 amps on the +12V rails, and 2x6-pin PCI-E connectors.
