^ Some items are deactivated and you can get better deals

What do you plan to do and what do you have. Photoshop etc , Vista , Xp , 32 or 64bit light gaming or heavy gaming. Playing older games or newer games , Media Machine etc.

An HD4670 is good for older games and some newer but heavy GPU intense games like Crysis won't run to well on high GFX settings or In a High resolution,
The Cheapest is $56.00 for ATI 4670 512mb

The 4770 is a beast it averages 5% slower than the 4850 Prices are between
$99.00 to $110.00 . OCing this Card makes it a string performer also I believe XFX will be releasing a 1GB version to help with higher Resolutions also in the future also if you want to upgrade to crossfire it will be one of the fastest setups around closing into the high end offering of ATI and Nvidia.

For CPU you can look at OCing or Stock currently the best CPU offerings are the
e5200 from intel or the AMD 7850 BE. The 7850 is better at stock you can OC but it wont make much of a difference if you go with the e5200.
The E5200 Oc'ed beats the 7850 including if you OC the 7850. The e5200 is $70.00 and the AMD 7850 is $75.00 Keep in mind of you get the e5200 you'll need a aftermarket cooler + Paste(arctic sliver etc) to get higher and stable OC.

AMD 7850

Mobo- Well I suck at these but and good mobo is around $50.00 to great/ awesome $50.00 plus so aroudn 50.00 to 100.00 depending on what you want.

RAM 4GB DDR2 is about $30.00 to $60.00 any good brand will do OCZ, Corsair, A-DATA, G.Skill, Crucial. Some have good offers so look around.

A good PSU look for 450 W-600 W you're looking at $50 - 70 ,OCZ Stealth Stream , Thermaletake , BFG Tech, Corsair, Earthwatts and Coolmaster. Good offers again so look around

HDD Large 750GB - $80.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136150

You can get smaller ones but its still around $50.00 for those this is a really good deal most other smaller HDD are not worth it for the price


CD/DVD- One of the best- AVG 4 stars out of 700 reviews

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151171

Cases , good ones are expensive currently the cheapest is Rosewill Mid Tower
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147110
I'm a bit iffy on Rosewill the PSU are craptastic

and you can get an Antec 300(Good Case) for $50.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129042


I know its a bit over but it's a well built PC.Looking at deals from there the cheapest. It comes to 480.00 ish without the intel CPU , A Mobo would set you back between the $50.00 to $100.00 mark. So 600 dollars for a very good PC. Then again I don't know what you are wanting to use the PC as that would be very helpful.
