Hoping not to break $700 or so after rebates.

= 700$ Exactly
Could be around 650$ After MIR

So...just find a hard drive of your size and that should be good.

Whats your whole budget?

That build doesn't look great, because of the Low-End Case PSU, and that brand name is an unknown

 

[baron5]

tenenbaums build is good, but change the mobo to a gigabyte ds3r which is 99 after MIR and maybe a cheaper case so you have enough for a bigger hdd, like the coolermaster 330

 

[veg1992]

My comment was directed at the OP, but I didn't see Tenenbaum's build, its not bad though..

Get the case that the OP wanted with a Corsair 550vx

even cheaper xd gskill FTW!

i rekon he be better off going with a cheaper rosewill psu, obviously with good amps.

 

[veg1992]

You'd think since its DDR2 667 it'd be at Cas 3, 3-3-3-9
