memory:    	http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220441    	138$ 	(includes streetfighter 4!, 6gb)
case:      	http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119157    	90$
CPU cooler:    	http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608007r   	46$
PSU:      	http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153038      	105$ 	(85$ after 20$ rebate, see http://images10.newegg.com/uploadfilesfornewegg/rebate/SH/Thermaltake17-153-038Oct25Nov1009lc77.pdf)

total so far:    									1024$	(1004$ after rebate)

pros: 		has the strongest CPU of the three, extremely good for overclocking, great for tasks such as video editing, powerfull!
cons: 		future upgrading is  questionable, has the weakest GPU of the three, 2 gigs less ram then the i5 and AMD systems

		add second videocard (crossfire)
		add 6 gigs of ram
		HDD's

total so far:    									1045$	(1025$ after rebate)
pros: has a potential upgrade path (socket 1156 has more future then 1366), lots of ram, on par with the AMD system
cons: less powerfull then the i7
upgrade path:	there should come more powerfull CPU's for the 1156 sockets in the future

    	    <description><![CDATA[If you're not going to do shitloads of rendering, video editing etc. Go for an i5 base pc.

Get an HD5850 instead of the GTX275, or an HDHD4890, first one is way better and more recent, second one has the same performance but it's cheaper.

Get the Caviar Blue/Black unless it's a storage disk, the Green series have a fixed rpm in between 5400-7200, it's designed to use very low power, however this also means less performance.

With the money you can spare from going for i5, you can probably get an SSD.]]></description>

This.

If your pc is old as fuck it might not be worth it to get a quad core for example, or it may not even be compatible &#62;_&#62;]]></description>
