I suggest building it yourself, you'll save money and get exp , besides it's fun
Edit: Go with GTS 250 instead of the 9series , for the same price it runs cooler and performs a bit better in games. And yes i know this is intels territory , but i still suggest going Phenom II, easy overclock + great bang for buck And going amd will save you some money , that you could spend on a more powerful card, like the ones offered by RAND0M1ZER.
I post a build list later
