It just so happens that I was helping a friend pick out parts for a Budget PC as well, his Budget being between 600-700. I chose to go with an Intel over AMD because if he downgrades to a Dual Core, hey will may one day want a Quad Core and this will future proof it. But hopefully he'll stick with the Q6600.

This is what I've got, let me know if that Case may not fit. I tend to overlook the simplest things.
