all right now that is a top of the line computer for $1398 leaving room for tax!! have fun!!

the one above is a great build, id go with that

Here's another build I came up with, using approximately the same parts. Tigerdirect tends to be expensive, as far as my observations go:

PII 965

HAF 922

Corsair TX 750W

Sapphire 5870

MSI 790GX-G65

OCZ Platinum 1333 DDR3

WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD

Price w/o Tax is 1285.16

I would NOT suggest a re-furb power supply. Seriously, putting +1K of components on the line just for a few bucks isn't worth it.

You posted the RAM and DVD drive as the same link.

Thats a pretty sick build for the price. +1

Only thing I'd change: swap the HAF 922 for the 932. The extra room is well worth a few more dollars.

The i7 920 is faster compared to the 965 when it comes to rendering and encoding/decoding files. But in terms of gaming, they are pretty much equal.
