Gaming Rig on a budget

I finally got my new rig together. Not quite the rig I had in mind. But reality kicked in and I couldn't spend that type of money for a new PC, so after I purchased the case and powersupply, the money manager put a halt to operations. But as perfect timing normally goes, I found this great article on Tom's Hardware on building a gaming rig for $500. This was great timing since I just fried my Mother board for reasons I don't want to explain. But all is good, as I followed the recommendations and this rig handles the latest wares with ease.
