    Looking for a sub 900 option, this dosent include a mouse/keyboard/fans in the cost and i already have a Gigabyte 6600gt that ill be using for the gfx card.

    This is basically a reevaluation of my last attempt of throwing together a list.

    Case & 450W PSU

    Get this its a good amd64 with agp+pci-ex motherboard -

    ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 - $69.99

    AMD 64 3800+ - $282

    With that extra money you save on the motherboard you can get a better processor. If you wish to overclock the ram on that motherboard you will have to get a RAM Booster. Basically this motherboard is awesome you can have either agp or pci-express as it has 2 slots. It also has upgradablity to the upcoming M2 processor so you wont be left behind.
