Welcome to PCMech.

Here is a list to get you started. The total comes to $650 from Newegg.com. Do you need a copy of Windows too? That is another $100. If that puts you over budget, use the motherboard onboard video and save up for the video card.

Asus P5K-VM: $120
Core 2 Duo E4400: $126
2GB Crucial DDR2-667: $67
Seagate 250GB: $70
LiteOn DVDRW: $40
Case of your choice: $50
Fortron 450w PSU: $58
eVGA Gefoce 8600GT: $120

$650 is very tight for a gaming rig. For case you might look at :

COOLER MASTER Centurion 5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119068

which right now would save you about $10 off alarons budget

or as an alternative you could get yourself a:

Antec Sonata III
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129024

which already has a good PSU so you would not have to buy a seperate PSU.

You could also get the 320GB Seagate for just $10 more if you can swing it. Alaron posted a great list so dont really have any better suggestions for that budget.

thx for the feed back, for the person that posted first that is almost exactly the same build i had pretty much the only difference is the cpu and the power supply, i had a 600watt power supply in mind, but if you think a 450watt will do then thats even better, thanks to both of you that replied

450W is fine...that system won't be a heavy hitter on the power usage. Also, that's a quality 450W (and cheap price) unit.
