I would come back about 2-3 weeks before your intended purchase date. Whatever we recommend today will probably not be the best bang for the buck in a few months. This industry moves too fast to try to plan a build 6 months in advance.

To give you an idea what's about in your price range look over these recommendations:
$750 PC
You could "step down" in price on a couple of the parts to be able to fit a 22" LCD ($150), Vista ($100) and Keyboard/mouse/speakers ($50) into your budget.

 

[WR2]

Another recommended list of parts Affordable All Rounder

On both those sites you can look over recommendations in different price ranges.

THG's own System Builder $625 list

Tests have shown that going for bigger memory only increases FPS by only a few frames. not worth the premium. The video card, you could swap out for one of those new ATI cards....4890's.

The ram and mother board are a combo...i think and you get a cfree cd with the video card..... COD W@W...
