Spider, I'll see if I can get some good parts. I've only made one, so input from others would be nice. I'll find some stuff.

No, I was saying it isn't a lot.

Well when you're out on your own, it's not a lot of money.

But when you're in school(not college though) and you don't have a job, it's a lot of money to most people.


My recommendations:

ATI HD 4870
Intel Core 2 Q6600
X48 motherboard (ASUS, GIGABYTE, etc)
Corsair 750 watt PSU
4 GB DDR2 800 memory
Windows 64-bit Vista

Case, disk drives, etc don't matter as much. Plenty of choice and all a matter of personal needs/preferences.

Oh miss read, Also good mother bord?

A good core i7 system might put you dangerously close to or surpass your budget.
