Recommend THIS monitor and Make sure you grab an operating system if you don't own one(unless you want linux).

EDIT - I already have Vista 64 Business and Windows Xp Pro 32-bit (probably gonna run XP)

Basically, I am selling the computer in my Sig to my parents for $500 (not a bad deal in my opinion, pre-built) and I am upgrading. Thus far:

4gb Gskill Ram with ANTEC 300 Case

700w OCZ PSU

XFX 4890

500gb HDD 32mb Cache 7200RPM

Combo Deal for AMD Phenom II 940 BE and Motherboard

Total Price - $680.25 shipped

Masterdj1992

Bought this setup earlier off newegg, should ship within a couple days. Antec 300 has the same cooling as the 900 except the top fan is 140mm not 200mm... Antec 300 also has a removable grill in the front (almost like a netting that catches dust and washable) And it is less pretty but it is in a combo deal for $15 off and $60 less overall before combo. When this computer gets here that will be my second antec 300 case... Recommend putting in 2 more 120mm fans in the front.

Note this does NOT include Operating System, Monitor, Keyboard, or Mouse.

You can get a good 22-24" monitor for $200, OS for $100 bringing total up to about $980.25 shipped (if free shipping on OS and monitor)without keyboard or mouse.

Enjoy!

Did it like 3 years ago on the sims 1 deluxe edition with the sims creator. Had Michael living with 4 little boys with this face:

For those who don't want to click through, this system is an i7 920, Antec 900 Case, XFX 4890 GPU, 6gb ddr3 OCZ, Vista Home Premium, 1TB Hard Drive, 24x CD/DVD Burner, 750W Antec Power Supply, and an ASUS Motherboard.

Processor/Motherboard Combo

Case/Power Supply Combo

RAM

Video Card

Hard Drive

Disk Drive

Operating System(vista home premium, you will need to utilize ram and can upgrade to the New Windows 7 later this year)

The total comes out to $1,312.35 Without a monitor. A monitor is about $200 more. I can scale back some parts if you want monitor included(and keyboard and mouse).

Enjoy!
