The motherboard and CPU are a great deal but I'm sure if you look around you can find good deals on some of these parts or similiar.

Same price, but this one exhausts the heat outside of you case.

Bumps the total by $8.99 ($593.93), but gives you a much better CPU and a faster hard drive.

Thats a great mobo combo. Nice catch.

Same price, but this one exhausts the heat outside of you case.

That card isn't nearly as good as the ones we suggested but it's a good deal and that case will work for you.

What about this combo [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.494101]Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more![/URL]

It's essentially the same savings but with loss of performance and you lose the savings in the mobo deal but it could work

Sometimes you have to stop trying to rub a nickel into a dime and just take the plunge. It is better to spend a few extra bucks and get quality parts than to mess around trying to save a few cents.

Yeah I understand that but I'm only willing to get if there are big savings pretty much.

This seems like a great price for a graphics card, $35 after rebate. I know it's not that great of card but I don't think I need more.
