Haha, sorry to criticize a little, but shouldn't you have gotten a little more ram? With those high end parts you might need it.

Myself, I bought an FX-55 for about $150 a while ago, and combined with a 7800gt, cheap mobo and 2gb ram it came to about $800. But I used a couple of old HDD and a DVD drive that I already had, so that brought it down a bit. Having an action pack subscription to Microsoft to get "free" Vista helped too.

(Not counting the monitors. That would jack it up $600. :D)

yea i bet man bulidin them is fun except the money part lol xKGBxx

On the contrary, a pre-built system from alienware will set you back much more than if you had built it yourself... 

Pc I picked and about to get came to only 1300 canadian for 650Imb, E6600, 2gigs ram 800mhz, 500gig hd, fancy tower/power supply, ect but its the videocard 8800gts 640 that will make this thing cost alot. Around 1800.

Least already have a fancy keyboard and 22" monitor so don't need those now.

My PC, which I bought just about a week after the Core 2's came out, cost me just under $1,100.

 Running:

- NVidia GeForce 7950 GT (512 MB)
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
- 2 GB Corsair XMS2 RAM
- MSI P965 Neo-F Mobo (At the time, Core 2 Duo was supported by very, and I mean very few motherboards).
- Sound Blaster X-Fi 7.1
- 17" LCD Monitor (I was going to order one on-line, but due to fear of dead pixels on arrival, I bought it @ Wal-Mart).
- Windows Wireless Desktop (I forget which model)
- Sennheiser Headphone/Mic
- Nec ND-3550A (Beautiful, Dual-Layer DVD Writer for $30.00 @ Newegg) 

 It was almost top of the line when I got it. If my budget would have allowed, I'd have went E6700, maybe up'ed the RAM to 4 GB (which I don't regret not doing seeing how 2 gets the job done fine), and GTX'ed the GT. But it wasn't expensive and I can throw in a 8800 and Quad-Core whenever I get the money.

I had to build mine from the ground up after a PSU shorted out my hard drives.  Wasn't too sure about the rest of the components.  I built it about a year ago and it cost me about $1600 dollars.

While I am planning on updating my processor to the fastest Opteron for the Socket 939 chipset.  This computer hasn't given me a single problem and I am running a lot of games on high with no problems (HL2, F.E.A.R, Battlefield 2, GTAIII, GTA:VC). 

If you build your own you'd save a thousand or more at least (If you go for Alienware or Dell, that is)

I spent about 2k, and that's for every single thing, computer, monitor, keyboard, screen, 2.1 sound.. I got a E6600, 2 gigs of above decent ish ram, 8800gts graphics card.. Everything runs max settings so far :p

I'm so happy with the price, though.. The last time I bought PC stuff was a few years ago, and these were the days even building your own PC from scratch, and just getting one that will run current games at much (not even future games at max) would cost at least 3-4k. 5k still seems to be the most you can really spend on a PC, though, and that'd be one of those alienware, or really cool Falcon NW computers with a badass paintjob and such. That's a huge down payment on a car, though! @_@

AMD X2 3800+

7900GT

ASUS A8N32 Mothah board

Raptor 150gb

2gb Vitista ram, heatspread

liquid cooled

NZXT 550watt PS

and a pretty case w/ blue lights all over it (DOUBLED SPEED OF MACHINE) :)

and this dident include keyboard, mouse, speakers, or screen. had those already

Its a year and a half old but I've got a 7800 GT, San Diego 3700+ AMD, 2 gigs of corsair, raptor, and some combed MSI mobo for $1000.   Its old but still pretty good.  I've been thinking about getting an intel comp but the aging LGA775 socket keeps me at bay.

You save a lot of you build it yourself... mine only took 5 hours, cost: $1800 USD and you've just got a GTX instead of GTS I also built mine last year.

Yeah, but at least you're closer to Japan! So you can take a trip there and buy it really cheap! And spend a weekend there, and the cost of living will take all and more of any savings you'd have, but it'd be really fun! 

Approx. $1100 last summer (everything was new except monitor), after the AMD price drop and before the DDR2 mem price hikes, all from newegg.com, except for the sound card (Audigy 2ZS Platinum) from eBay and the CPU (AMD X2 4600) from zipzoomfly.com. (Too lazy to put full specs)
