Default I have $800 to spend on a new rig...
I have $800 including the rerbates to spend on new parts for a system. I already have a hardrive. What should I get? I have no clue since this is my first build.

Honestly, that depends if you game or not.

If you game, concentrate on CPU and GPU.

If you don't, get a really fast RAID setup going and it'll give you a much more responsive computer.
