:p
I actually recommend downgrading a lot of it since the total is now over 700$
Seriously, if you ask around, most of what I posted is probably the most bang for your buck 700$ computer you can get. Although if you can, people will say to get the 6800GS video card.
 
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16819103539 $233.00
MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16813130484 $123.00
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820227039 $71.50
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16814130214 $125.00
HD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16822144701 $115.00
Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16827152058 $39.99
Case: Pick out one you like $100.00

Total: $808.00 Not including tax or shipping. Thats a *****. Well if you can find a case for like 50 bucks then it'll be 750, and if you can scrape together the extra 50 bucks you will have a decent gaming pc. Not to mention it will be very upgradeable
 
To build a budget PC you must use budget parts and names :) I always say just get the base started then upgrade as you go. The most important aspect of this that you do not want to go cheap on is the motherboard and case. Your physical case structure is what will determine the capacity of your future upgrades. Your motherboard will determine what you can and can not add in the future. Every other part can easily be swapped out later for more high performance parts (CPU, RAM, VIDEO CARD, POWER SUPPLY, HD, CD-ROM, SOUND CARD)
 
I just realized you live in CA...if you are in so cal what are you thinking!! you can build it all from FRY's! save money on shipping at least..you will most likely get taxed anywhere cause no one likes our state...but it is our state and we must love it.

Im in monterey so frys isnt an option
 
ROADTRIP!! or newegg...i live in orange county, and i got all my parts from NEWEGG cuz they are awesome...and FRYS dosent have anything in stock....at least none of the high end stuff....go newegg bro, you wont be sorry...and shipping only takes 2 days...well it did for me....
 
it isn't that hard to do I had the same exact budget but less so look at my sig and then you can add all of the minor stuff, DVD drives (NEC), Case (I used my old one), fans, video card, you can make 700 dollar budget soo easy with this set-up.
