My sig rig was only about 700 dollars total, just lop off the extra 4830 and you have a nice 610 dollar rig.

if you going intel go for the E6300 2.8GHz the FSB is much higher than the E5200. which means easier higher overclocks

Get this if it comes in stock soon: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151171

The build I mentioned has $50 in mail in rebates by the way

If you want to save the money now though a 4850 is a viable option no doubt.
