before rebates: $548.90
after rebates: $498.90

let me know what you think.

if going with a 68xx series card, you want a minimum of a 500w psu, rest is pretty solid.

in that case, here is a 550 watt psu change:

Little update to my previous one...XFX 6870 so Life Time Warranty + 750GB HD instead of 500GB:

thats actually a cool build

Keeping in mind the spirit of making the most affordable computer possible , I ignored aesthetic value and went for functionality and cost.

Grand Total: $440.60 ( with shipping )
