Thanks for all the replies guys. I really appreciate it.
I came up with a build using ur guy's help and stuff you recommended. Here's what I came up with. I would appreciate any input or any substitutions that u will suggest instead of the ones I came up with.
CPU - I was debating whether I should go with the E6400 or E6600 or even AMD's 5000+. Any suggestions? For now, Im going for the E6600.

Cost: $11.99
Total Cost: $1,696.89 without tax and shipping and handling.
I know its over my budget and anything that would lower this cost is greatly appreciated. Any opinions? Thanks guys.
Here's my questions....
1. Should I get Intel E6400, E6600 or AMD 5000+ Processor? I would mainly use this PC for gaming.
2. Is the Windows Vista Home Basic Edition I have above is a full version or is that an upgrade version? It seems like its too cheap for a really new Operating System.
3. 500GB or 320 GB Hard Drive?
4. 19" vs 22" screen. Do I really need 22" screen? Like I said, I will only use this PC for gaming and to me, it seems like a 22" screen is good especially that the price difference between 22" and 19" is less than $100.00
Thats all for now.
