AMD X4 940 + Biostar 790GX $209 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.209473 OCZ LV 9600 2x2gb $80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227454 Silverstone 700w $130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817256045 Sapphire Vapor 4890 $222 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102841 320gb WD HD $50 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136098 Scythe Mugen 2 $37 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&Tpk=mugen%202 The hard drive is faster, has 2x as much space for $10 more. Why go DDR3 when you can go DDR2 and save money? If you must go DDR3 I'll find a cheaper alternative for you The Scythe Mugen 2 performs better than the Zalman he picked The 4890 have different models you can pick. Either go with the one I picked, or XFX, or Asus as they have a nice cooling design on one of their models... That is some of the best DDR2 your going to find. I'm in your budget by $2!!! And I fit a quad in there

do not buy an overpriced zalman heatsink, thats the only thing wrong with the first build IMO. get a mugen 2, true, noctua, or megahalems
