I spent the better part of 4 days coming up with this incridible Gaming PC build. It is by far the best build I have ever seen and trust me when I say I have looked everywhere. I had a budget of 1200 dollars to try to build 2 gaming PC's for my daughter and I. In the beginning I was faced with a nearly impossible task; but by the end of all of my research and long hours, I have managed to pull this "Diamond" of a build from the slurry of components that are circulating around everywhere.
If you would like to say thank you... even in a small way for my many long hours and hard work, please press the DONATE link at the top of my website and show your appreciation. If you have done your own digging, you already know how hard and grueling this work can be. To say I have had a constant headache for the past 4 days is an understatement. The hundreds of different configurations, combo deals, rebates, shipping fees, deals, and ratings were a nightmare. So here is my gem. I hope you like it!
If this build is received well I will do more! -Perhaps many more!
Please feel free to post my build that I worked so hard on. I think you will be quite pleased with it! It will only be good for a few days so pass the word on it ASAP! I also ask that you provide a link to my build thread when you post about this build. That way people can leave me feedback about it! Here's the build thread:

Please NOTE: The build price of $555 is dependent upon 2 successful rebates that equal $55 total. If you fail both of the rebates you will still only pay $610 (Shipping Included) for this build.
Also NOTE: You can put a XFX GeForce 9800 GT 512MB card into this build instead of the 8800 GT, but it will cost an additional $20. From the reviews so far it doesn't appear to be worth it, but the choice is yours. The 9800 card is linked below. Just add the Ram separately from my build and then replace the 8800 card with the 9800 card.

Here's the link to the 9800 card I promised for the additional $20. You do get free Call of Duty 4 with this card, so that's pretty sweet!

NOTE: It was brought to my attention that this build did not have a DVD Burner in it... sorry about that I was going to use my burner from my old system. Here is a link to a nice 23 dollar unit with free shipping!
