    just pick out all the parts (get someone on here to pick them for you) and pay whoever you buy it from to put it together for you :/

    most places will charge around $50 to build it for you.

    although you will need to spend more than $700 regardless if you want it for gaming... ~$1200 should be enough

    Well not true when I say you exactly can't Pinto got a $600 setup but he overclocked it to achieve good fps...

    You would be needing $1200-1500 to build a full fledged gaming setup man.

    mine was 1700 two years ago~

    4gig ram 800hz
    Asus P5k-R
    500gb hdd
    antec 900
    LG dvd burner

    i get over 200 fps without cevo config, u should consider something along those lines if you want to play games that run the source engine.

    In saying that if u want to play games like cod4, crysis, etc etc you will need a better system to play at max settings

    I included a monitor in my build aha. I don't know whether they assemble or not, I'd say they do... better double check before purchasing.

    They're integrated on your motherboard. Unless you have extremely high quality speakers or headphones it's not necessary to buy a soundcard, and the network card integrated on the motherboard is fine as long as you only need one ethernet port.

    Nice little setup...

    I'd change the Ram and the Board however for Overclocking Goodness

    Although 1066mhz allows a good overclock, I am not sure on KingMax Ram
