IMO i agree with karmas build 100 percent but with a budget of 700 u should use it =p u could upgrade the mobo to a

Asus P5e
Newegg.com - ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

or even the video card to a 4870

Completely agree ... especially since i just bought the noted mobo. Its sick as hell.


No reason to waste money on SLI for a budget/value gaming box.


No Case was listed so unless your not looking for one ... I would check out the Antec Sonata III with the Earthwatts 500 built in.
