| HardwareLogic Make sure you check out the Recommended Hardware Lists. for $800, you could piece together a decent system from the budget and mainstream lists.

| Case: Coolermaster CM690 - Good case with lots of airflow. CPU: E6600 - Nice deal form a nice guy. Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L - Excellent P35 chipset. I would have recommended the DFI Blood Iron, but no one seems to have those in stock. If you can find one, I highly recommend it. But (IMO) the Gigabyte is pretty good as well. GPU: EVGA 9600GT - New 9-series card from a great manufacturer (read HERE). RAM: OCZ Platinum (Rev. 2) 2x1GB 800MHz - Great RAM at a great price, and the rebate just makes it better. Crucial Ballistix is excellent as well. I'd be happy with the OCZ or the Crucial kits. HDD: Seagate 7200.11 500GB 32MB Cache - 500GB, 32MB of cache, you really can't complain. Total: $695 without tax/shipping.
