Dream Machine on a budget

Time to build a new gaming rig to take advantage of all the new games coming out. I think I will be sticking with AMD as I've been itching to build a Athlon 64 based system. I've spend a lot of time at Newegg.com and have put together a wish list of the core components.

I've originally speced out the AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 (939 pin), but I just couldn't validate the price of $800, as that's my whole budget!! So I've had to cut some corners, but refusing to yield on others. Well, I'm still way over budget, but I figure the time in the doghouse will be minimal.

If you got any suggestions or recommendations, I would love to hear them.

buy the dream machine, then paint it black and stick it in a corner with a plant on top. If she finds it, tell her it's a state of the art plant stand.

I can't help but think of a quote from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels...with a slight modification....

We play copious amounts of games here, and you're playing on Dream Machine with a bag of fertilizer. You don't look like your average horti-funding-culturalist
