My sig rig was about 900, and i got the 4850 when it came out. You can probly save money with price cuts on some of the components, go with e8400 or e7200 and go with the three hundred

Don't be afraid to buy used components. It's a great way to save cash. I saved about $75 on my motherboard, about $100 on my HDD, $25 on my video card, $20 on my sound card, $35 on my mouse, about $85 on my monitor and around $25 on my TRUE. The only things I bought retail were the power supply, memory, case, keyboard and headset. Oh, and my T-Rad2, which I haven't played with yet. You won't need aftermarket graphics cooling, though. And I almost forgot I saved about $30 on a used OEM copy of Vista.

There are much better choices than those Raidmax cases. They aren't very good airflow wise.

780G plays Portal @ 1920x1200, and decodes Blu-ray. Perfect non-gamer setup.

$799.87

That is a pretty sweet build.
If you don't need blu ray, you could put some more money towards a 24" which the 780G should still be able to handle fine.

I think a Blu-Ray drive on anything smaller than a 24" monitor is a waste. Just my two cents.

Once again, thanks everyone for the advice. She decided on the following set up. Damn newegg is fast. Started to put everything together, my only problem is the damn case. It looks like this case has the raised parts to attach the MB, there are no posts. Needless to say when attaching the video card and the wireless card to the MB they dont seat very well. Its almost like the case wont let it seat well in the MB. Anyone have any issues with this case?
