FeaturesGo with AMD and get it even cheaper! on
$800 Budget PC Buyer’s Guide -- Updated Prices and Parts For October 2008

How bout this (prices from newegg):

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz (I hear this guy's pretty overclockable too) $76.00

Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 SDRAM $51.99

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive $64.99

MSI K9A2 Platinum Mobo $ 124.99

ASUS EAH 4850 512MB Video Card $119.99

Coolermaster Centurion $49.99

And let's just go with the Power Supply, DVD Drive, and OS from the article. $175

TOTAL: $662.95

Now that's an awesome build. I could have gone with a cheaper mobo too however I thought it would be convenient to have the option to upgrade to a dual X16 Crossfire setup in the future.
