Is there no way it can be reduced somehow? I really only have 800 to spend, nothing else to spare.

What if I switched the case to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146061
And than just bought windows 7 seperate. And than used http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157190 instead for motherboard? Ill be aiming for sandy bridges a bit later anywho, so you think this could work for now? With this change it would come out to $791.79 with shipping..but I probably picked a retarded motherboard or something.
Edit: I left out the cd drive, I am not sure how else I could reduce price.

That's a pretty good deal, but let me see if I can start from scratch and get you under 800....

Your GPU and an ASUS 870 board $345

Phenom II X4 $140
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808
Not as strong as the Intel CPU, but we'll try to make up for it.

G.skill 8GB $80
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231424&cm_re=DDR3_1333_8GB-_-20-231-424-_-Product
I just used this kit in a build and was favorably impressed. You don't need fancy heatsinks. 8GB is a good idea right now as RAM is cheap.

Rosewill case and a quality ATNG-built PSU $100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.594820

Asus drive $18
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
Also just used one and liked it.

Win 7 64-bit $100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754&cm_re=win_7_64_bit-_-32-116-754-_-Product

That should come to about $800 after shipping.

I could of sworn it called for a 550 power supply, but im noticing now it only asks for 500. I think I will go with that setup!
Edit: $798.29 with shipping, perfect. Cutting it close though!

why in the world are you spending that much on a video card when your monitor resolution is 1280x1024?

You'll see nearly the same performance from a $100 dollar videocard as you would from a $300-500 dollar one.

If i were you I'd pocket the extra cash and buy a new monitor and upgrade your video card when picking out a new monitor.
