Venice 3200+ $135.00
DFI NF4 Ultra-d $112.99
G. SKill 2gigs (red) $154.99
XFX 7600gt $158.99 after rebate
Seagate 300g HDD $99.00

TOTAL = $661 ALL PRICES NEW EGG

I cheated a bit. LOL but you could always get a cheaper HDD.

EDIT: I forgot about the psu. :roll:

You forgot about the case, and optical drive too. You also have too much high end stuff for a budget rig.

Here is what I put together
ATRIX Black/Silver ATX Mid Tower Case 480W PS $53.99
Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb $89.99
eVGA Geforce 7600GT $179.99
G.SKILL 1GB (2 x 512MB) $75.99
ASUS A8N5X $74.99
ASUS 16X DVD±R $42.99
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ $135.00

TOTAL $649.94
6 cents under :) The first thing I would upgrade would be the PS, but it gets it under the budget.

Thats why we have our Recommended Hardware lists.
The budget system we recommend runs $663.95 ($675.00 including a floppy)...which isn't too shabby

Thats almost exactly what I picked out, except the case is better in the list, and some of the brands are diffrent. Other then that its the same thing.
