My old PC is from 2004-ish and my laptop just really isn't cutting it anymore so I'm going to build a mid-range $1000 budget gaming PC.  Had someone help me out and this is what I got (all the stuff not listed I already have and don't need).

I'm heading over to Fry's this evening because I know they have the processor cheaper and I think they have the motherboard cheaper.

This is right at my budget so I can't really go any higher but if I can save about the $60-70 I think I can on the processor and motherboard, that's $60-70 I can spend somewhere else so suggestions welcome!
