Hey everyone, I'm putting a budget build for school. Doing just mid range gaming (company of heroes, call of jaurez, cs:s) and some home music recording. I'd like to stay between $600 and $700, I don't need a monitor or an OS. I plan on gaming at 1680x1050 This is what I have so far.

I know DX11 is coming up soon so I may just get everything then wait a bit for DX11 to drop before I grab a video card, I can off till then to get a better deal. Also, that CD/DVD drive can burn Dual Layer discs right? Does everything look good? Any suggestions?syntax25Linked
What I did with my friends build 4 months ago was...
I kept his current hard drive, cd-drive, power supply and case and I just upgraded his motherboard, ram, gpu and cpu.
x2 550 = $100
ASUS or gigabyte mobo= under $100
2x1Gb ram = $40
ati 4850 = $120
he ran crysis @ high at a decent res w/ AA and it was perfect. I even played it on the pc I built for him and it was smooth as butter.
