Just going to throw this out there:
AMD Gaming Build I put in the General Hardware thread ($862-$915).
Granted an i5 2500 blows any AMD out of the water, but on a budget you can't beat them.
With the saved $ I switched in 1600MHz CAS8 ram, GTX 560Ti, 650W PSU, and a 750GB Caviar Black.
The build does have Win7 64-Bit OEM, but I'd ask the IT dept about discounts for students before buying it, almost every college has some deal.
*Edit - The build does not have keyboard/mouse.
