$800???? The build above looks more like a $400 build. $800 gets you WAY better hardware.

For one thing I would think very hard before getting an AMD processor, at this point. I'm all for competition (and wish there were more,) but Intel has won. I would only use an AMD chip in a < $150.00 used build or something.
