Gaming rig $700 max

[drake716]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Sunday (9/13/09) BUDGET RANGE: $700 MAX including shipping

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, light photoshop, some video encoding, music, internet.

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.

PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel Core i5 if possible, if not just intel in general. Bad experience with AMD processors.

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The final price must include shipping to the 95128 zip code (California, so taxes have to be included too, so the real budget is more like $640). Gaming doesn't have to be the maximum allowed, but it would be nice to play at medium settings with decent framerates.
