Please list your pc components.
Are you a gamer?
Do you overclock?
Will you be using multiple video cards?

Hard to list my components...I'm in the process of deciding on everything, but this might help:

CPU: E5200
MoBo: Undecided...some version of P43 or P45
PSU: leaning towards BFG 550W from list
RAM: 4GB (2x2GB)...not sure on 800 or 1066
Monitor: 22" LCD
GFX card: Radeon HD 4770
Hard Drive: WD 640GB

The only game I currently play is WoW.

I plan to overclock an E5200 processor.

Do not currently plan to use multiple video cards, but if I decide to go with P45 mobo...I may someday.

Best bang for the buck = the lowest cost unit.
Best value is probably the BFG LS-550 when you consider a possible mid-life system update.

Looks like there have been some changes made to the BFG LS-550. Here's a link to an updated review over jonnyguru.com:
