There a couple of rebates in there, but some items will have shipping charges. $420 is a very tough budget to hit. Hopefully it has a little wiggle room in it.
Edit: You'll want to recheck pricing though; another i3 may be cheaper right now, and I've seen some good video card deals in that range for something stronger, or a little less for the same GPU. RAM too, could be a few bucks less. This time of year, expect significant deals.

aelanani :
Hope so
You know he said 1366 x 768, that's nearly 720P. That is a very low res. so he should be able to max games out with a $100 GPU easily. (Heck, I can play Hawken at ULTRA 720P at 30fps with my GT 540M.)

Yeah, just started playing it after a whole year of not playing it and 95% of it is the exact same hawken I played last December.
anyways, sorry for derailing the thread, I like random5s build but I'd go with a intel Pentium G3258 and a H81 motherboard instead.
