Get the following:
- Antec gaming Three Hundred case
- Cooler master 450-600w PSU
- AMD A8-3870K Quad Core 3.0GHz Unlocked APU
- 4GB dual chan memory Kit 1600MHZ is a must. Cheapest kit you can find, usually G.skill
- Any FM1 mobo (ASUS is good, Biostar is good for the price)
- WD Black 1TB or more Hard Drive (depending on your budget)
- AMD 6670 1GB Video Card (get fanless if possible)
Make sure to set crossfire mode on once Win7/Drivers are installed.
You'll have a budget machine that can out perform most i5 builds.
Above should cost roughly $600... unfortunately cost of hard drives have more than doubled so might want to consider a 120GB SSD drive. You'll lose the extra storage but gain read/write access.
