I could probably swing that sooner than later to use for gaming and buy some more time before I get the basement office all setup like I want it. I have a case that is still fine, but the guts of it are all seriously outdated.

The case was $100.

EDIT - Not bad...just finding as close as I could find on newegg, the total price there came up to $1563 |
I just had to put one together. Went through Newegg for most of the parts, nice Corsair Full-Tower Case, Corsair 650W Power Supply. ASUS Sabertooth X58 MoBo, ASUS DVD Burner, ASUS NVidia GeForce GTS 450 1GB Video Card, 24 GB RAM, 2 3TB SATA 6 HD's. Dual booting between Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Server 2008 R2. Using it for Hyper-V, prepping for my classes. i7 3.2 Ghz processor.

Thoughts on these components? This will primarily be for gaming and some small video editing here and there.
MSI ATX Mobo Intel Quad-Core i5 CPU Corsair 750 Watt PS Corsair Hyrdo Quiet Cooling GeForce GTX 770 GPU Crucial 16 GB RAM Samsung 250 GB SSD ASUS Optical Drive Cooler Master High Airflow Mid-Tower |
Solid build.
Although, if you intend on doing some video editing you might want to look into an i7. EDIT: Just looked at your ram choice... That ram will not work as it's for Macbooks and 204 pin. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006YG9EEW/?tag=pcpapi-20 That's what you need. |
I finished my new work computer yesterday. It's a pretty massive upgrade over what im using right now.
For the past 8 years i've been using a P4 w/ 4 gigs of ram and windows XP. My new Machine: AMD FX 8350 8 Core Asus MA97 MoBO 16GB Ram (Kingston) EVGA Nvidia GTX 660 600 Watt Corsair PSU Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler 240GB Kingston SSD 2GB Hitachi HD 2x Asus 48x DvD drives. Thermaltake S31 Snow Case Windows 7 I was amazed that it took all of 10 minutes to install Windows 7 and the drivers for both the MoBO and the Gfx card. I remember back when installing an OS was an all day kinda thing. |
I'm getting pretty close to doing another build myself. Been running a Mac Pro for quite a while, but it's finally showing its age a bit. My current video card couldn't run the new Wolfenstein, and that pissed me off something fierce. So I'm building another Winbox.

Couple of good budget builds here
