This has a BUNCH of rebates to get to this number. I hope you have some of these parts so we can put more into the GPU, but you asked for a complete build. Soup to Nuts.

Donkey, I'd tweak that build a teensy bit:

Corsair case looks much better imo and Corsair is a well-known chassis maker.

Rosewill Capstone is a really good PSU for the price.

And the Devastator gaming bundle with a mouse and keyboard.

Me too, but the $800 budget is brutal for a good complete system. That case is one of the few places I can go cheap.

If it weren't for the ridiculously low price on the R9 280 right now, I would have had to go AMD on the processor haha. I absolutely love the ASUS VS239H-P. I own the monitor and since its IPS, it has fantastic colors. It also has respectable response time, making it good for gaming. I bought it a year ago for about $150.
