Just because I like building rigs, here you go: (My version

Mobo: ECS H61H2-M2(1.0) $15 after mir and $10 promo - code: ECS521
CPU: Celeron G530 $50
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKX 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" $60 with promo code: EMCNEHA23
Case: Coolermaster RC430 $33 shipped with promo: FREESHIP
Psu: Corsair CX430 $30.50 after mir and promo code: CorsairPSU10
RAM: Team Elite 2x2gb kit $22
OS: Win7 64bit $80
Total before GPU and with $40 in mir is $290.50 shipped.
Insert your favorite $200 gpu
or you can swap the G530 for a G850 and get a $175 gpu.
You won't see a difference in games between the two cpus most likely (at most only a couple fps). The gpu will be doing most of the work.
My recommendations for gpu:
6870 or 560ti

And what would the TOTAL price be including the OS.
Say MY Limit price dropped to $465 Is that do able? I've seen the 7750 be used for the game and it just looks flawless.is the 6870 worth the extra $ and be noticeable? I believe i can pick up the 7750 for $105
I hate waiting for shipping i wish i could find all these parts locally lol.
I tried searching frys.com because i have one about 40 miles from my area but they just don't carry AS much PC stuff as they used too.

You could build it decently at Fry's but would pay more. Don't forget, they price match to newegg. (not the promo codes or mirs though).
My build with a G850 and 1gb xfx 6870 would be $477 after mir (note that the totals for mir after adding the xfx 6870 is now $70). This is more than most people want to do in mir as it is still $70 added to the total build at time of purchase ($547 total purchase price).
