[QUOTE="5SI-GonePostal"]

Tiny bit over but i think this is pretty good:

CPU - AMD 965 BE - $100
GPU - AMD 7850 - $165
Memory - 8gb Crucial 1333mhz (2x4gb) - $35
Mobo - AM3+ Mobo = $60
Case - Cooler Master Elite 430 - $40
PSU - Corsair CX430 - $45
Optical - DVD Writer - $15
HDD - 250gb Samsung Spinpoint - $55
$515

Hope this helps

ionusX

alternatively:

amd phenom II x6 1045t (tigerdirect/compusa) $100

gpu: amd hd 6870 $140 (worst case scenario) if prices r cheaper get a 7850

memory: 8gb g.skill ripjaw $40

am3+ mobo $60

rosewill challengerU3 $45

PSU: rosewill 530 watt psu $50

optical drive (generic, black, sata) $17

HDD - 250gb Samsung Spinpoint - $55

the end result is basically the same system @ stock. the gpu is worse but really the 7850 isnt exactly required to max out games atm and probably wont be for a long time. the 430 is a fugly case thats really lousy to build in. i avoid that b!tch like the plague. and the one i chose often comes in a bundle with a 530 rosewill psu i selected meaning an opportunity to be cheaper than your case and psu. i selected gskill ripjaw b/c ram without a decent heat spreader i find (unless from kingston) is alot more prone to having bad sticks in the kit especially if it needs to travel great distances in the mail.

would i be better off paying $10 more and getting the AMD FX-4100 ? since im getting an am3+ mobo?
