Default 1000$ Budget build

Just seeing what are peoples opinions on this build.

I need-
-case
-power supply
- motherboard
- cpu
- ram
- dvd drive
- hard drive
- graphics card
- monitor

Im hoping to be able to fit at least a 5850 and a 22" monitor into this budget. Not sure if thats possible or not.. I may try to buy some parts used as well.

I plan on just gaming with this computer. Nothing really too CPU intensive, and whatever CPU I end up with will sure be a heck of a lot faster than what I got now (dont look at sig, its gross.)



Show me what you come up with

HD5850 - $280
Phenom II 720 BE - $119.99
ASUS M4A78T-E - $129.99
Antec True Power New 750W - $104.99
Scythe Mugen 2 CPU cooler - $34.99
Viewsonic 22" monitor - $160
250GB Western Digital Blue - $44.99
LG DVD Burner - $27.99
G.Skill 4GB 1600MHz - $85.99
All that comes to just shy of $1000... but as you can see, there's no case. If you get a really, really, really cheap case, and get the Phenom II X2 550 BE instead, you can do it, though.

I'd say Go i5, or PII X4.

That would add up to $1500, crc, I have all those parts listed in my wish list

Would you be willing to go LGA 1156? Do you focus more on gaming than CPU-intensive apps? If so:
CPU - i5 750
GPU - 5850/5870
PSU - Corsair 750TX
Mobo - Gigabyte's GA-P55 or ASUS P7P55D series.
RAM - OCZ 2 x 2GB
HDD - WD Caviar Black 500GB or 640GB, depends
Optical Drive - does not matter, go with Samsung's SH-223 line or Lite-on.
Monitor - ASUS VH line
Case - Lian Li PC-K62, Antec 300/900, or Cooler Master HAF 932/922, whatever fits your budget and space needs.

Do you plan on using multiple GPU's or is a single card solution okay?
