    I'm building the following system as soon as the parts arrive:

    *Asus P5E-VM SE SKT-775 MATX
    *Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 Wolfdale Skt1775 1333FSB : BX80570E8200
    *Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU-Cooler, Socket 775/AM2/939/940
    *Corsair HX520W 520w Modular PSU
    *GeIL 4gb Black Dragon DDR2 PC2-6400 (5-5-5-15) Dual Channel kit (2x2GB) - GB24GB6400C5DC
    *Radeon HD 4870
    *Samsung Spin Point F1 1tb SATA2 7200rpm 32mb cache HD103UJ
    *Samsung 32gb Sata2 SLC 2.5" Solid State Drive
    *Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7200S DVD±RW/DL 20x6x20x8 S-ATA - Black OEM
    *120mm Noctua NF-S12 1200 RPM Quiet Case Fan
    *Logitech G15 Keyboard
    *Logitech G5 Laser Mouse

    Comes in at around 1300 with shipping

    You could get a cheaper Case, Mobo and cpu as well as leave out the SSD.

    Is a 650w psu over kill? The Corsair Hx520w is modular (less cable clutter) and a good quiet psu.
