ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'd like this to be as cheap as possible yet still future proof as possible. I've looked around on Newegg and I know I'll have to go with an AMD system. I did a build that was close to $700 but I'd like to go cheaper. It included a Phenom II X3 cpu, ATI 5770, 4GB DDR3 RAM, Antec 300 case, Corsair 400 watt psu, and the rest is just whatever was a good deal/best rating. Thanks, ahead of time, to all who reply.

Edit: I'd like to also add that I have no intentions of SLI/Crossfire in the future.
