Ok, how about a budget, and what kind of games you're looking into playing?

My budget is 700$ and the computer is 697$ so im good. Im thinking of playing crysis(just alittle) but mostly newer games that are not as demanding like far cry 2. I do play steam alot and want to break the 300 fps in css :D

This comes to $771.88 - $70 MIR = $701.88

 

You could downgrade to the HD in your original post and the E7200 to save some $ if you need to.

 

You also didn't mention what OS you would be using, but 64-bit Vista with 4 gig RAM is awesome! I would recommend a 2x2 setup instead of 4x1. Just remember if you are using a 32-bit OS that you won't be able to use all 4 gig of RAM. It's still better than 2 gig though!

Sorry, I was just trying to help. Like I said, you could go with the 320 gig HD and E7200 and be right around $700 before rebates. I wish I could recommend AMD for a gaming rig, but at the moment Intel definitely has the upper hand.

If you don't like like my list, that's fine. I would still recommend going with the Mushkin 2x2 RAM I linked to instead of the original RAM.

I know that Raidmax case/psu looks attractive, but i wouldn't use a Raidmax power supply or a HEC (compucase) power supply in any of my systems. Bad reviews, poor regulation, not reliable etc.
For some alternatives try
case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811119152
with the combo PSU deal
or this case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811129042
with a quality 450watt or greater power supply from a quality manu. OCZ, Antec, Corsair , PC Power and cooling
