Here's what I've got thus far...
Antec 900 - $99
WD Cav Black 1TB - $109
Corsair 750tx - $119
Corsair Dominator 6GB - $258
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
AMD Phenom II 955 BE - Combo $329
XFX HD-577A
Windows 7 Home Ed 64 bit - Combo $269
Plus a mouse/mousepad combo at around $50 the total is ~$1200.
I'd like to lower this a bit if possible but I'm not sure about what to go cheaper on. I know the ram is pretty expensive and I'm sure a better deal can be had but I'd like to stick with 6GB since I often run many intensive programs. Also perhaps a better/cheaper mobo can be found? I'm open to all suggestions since I haven't built in so long. I'm also worried about compatibility since I had some issues with my last build.
Here's what the PC will be used for:
Games - TF2, MW2, L4D2, etc
Work - Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Notepad++, XAMPP, and multiple Firefox windows all open at the same time
