Nice. I was on a budget but I wanted to get a decent rig going so for 650 (shipping included) I decided to build mine from scratch off of newegg.
GPU= Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 256 bit, GDDR5
Proccesor= AMD Phenom II, X4 955 3.2 ghz AM3
Case= CM|CAC-T05-UB BLK/BL RT medium size tower
MOBO= ASUS|M4A78LT-M AM3 R
Monitor= a hannspree 22 inch (yea i know, it's decent for now, i'll upgrade later)
2 gskill ram sticks at 2gb each (i'll go better and at probably 8gb in the future)
corsair psu 500W
Will take any advice Dis for the future.
Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)
I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.
