Exclamation $800 to blow. Need help!
Here is the deal. My Birthday is in May and until then I will be able to save up $800. By June 1st is when I will get it. What will my options be? First off, it will be a mid-range gamer...well, that's it. A mid-range gaming machine for $800 on June first. Anyone want to suggest some parts?

I have a FATAL1TY. Why would I want a new sound card? Besides, they will be used to battle each other in a lan fest. :P
