Ladies and Gents,
Just wanted to say thanks for the helpful comments on my previous post. Today, I just finished buying all the parts. I spent more than I had budgeted for by about $100, but what are you going to do.
Power Supply CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V 69.24
Motherboard BIOSTAR TpowerX58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard (open box) 169.99
Gfx + HDD Combo XFX Geforce 260 core 216 + Seagate 640GB 32MB cache 199.98
CPU Intel i7 920 245.51 MICROCENTER
DVD Burner Samsung 22x SATA Lightscribe 21.99
Memory OCZ OCZ3P1600LV6GK DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz 6GB Plat 7-7-7-24 69.99 Amazon
Total 776.70
My friend has an antec p182 laying around, so he's donating to the cause. I was going to go with the Antec 300. 
But that saves me like $50.
I also paid 260 for the ASUS MK421h 24" monitor.
Possible points of contention I may run across:
1. If the open box mobo is screwed up, I may be screwed.
2, If the seagate HDD is screwed, I"ll have to RMA.
3. Above prices include $100 of MIR, so hopefully I get them.
Hoping for the best. We'll see!
yeap...everything's newegg except for the couple of things i got from amazon and microcenter. the gfx + hdd deal i just happened across today. i posted it on slickdeals.net
Thanks for the encouragement! I really hope I didnt screw myself with that mobo. It got really good reviews, so I decided to take the chance.
