After christmas, I finally have enough money to buy a low range computer woo!

Okay, if you have the time it would be cool if you could help me out, I have built 2 computers for my friends, and have read up about the brands and such, so here goes...

Need it to be around $800 dollars, cannot go over.

I will you use this computer ALMOST 100% for gaming and wil be doing NO overclocking to it.

I'm a fan of AMD CPUs and that's what I have experience with, so one of those would be good (I heard venice core was nice although it seemed to bo for overclocking, I will be doing absolutely NO overclocking.)

For Video card I was thinking the an NVidia (Possibly 6600GT? heard it was best bang for it's buck, but maybe I could get something better?)

I would like ANY kind of RAM that is a nice price and will last a while (1.5-2 gigs for mmorpgs that are RAM reliant)

For a motherboard I hear DFI is the best although it may be a tad expensive for the zero overclocking I am doing.

I already have a case picked out that costs about $60, so it actually takes the budget down that much, although I may be able to use the included PSU when building http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811208005

I don't need too much HDD storage, maybe around 160 gigs, but it should be fast.

Everything else I don't think I have an opinion about although it would be nice to hear the reason why you pick parts.

Thanks for your time. =)

total without shipping = $793.99

this didnt include a monitor keyboard mouse ,dvd drive etc, didnt no if you had a comp already and could use those. If you dont then cutting down the hard drive, graphics card and ram would allow you to buy them.
 
lol I was in the process of doing just that :p yep I chose the same except I was going to surgest corsair value select 1 gig but thats even better :)

and venice core isnt just for overclocking its reliable and better than older cores.
 
I've already picked out a case with a PSU, that after mail in rebates costs $60, so I'm covered. Also I just found my old computer has two cd/dvd drives, so that will help out. Also I would really like to be able to fit one of razer's gaming mice into there instead of a slow one.

Thanks for your help =)
