Allendales however are shipping.

$600 for everything plus video? Not gonna happen. unless you go with a really low end video card.

The 6300 is ~$230 iirc.

$219+shipping ~$227-230.

Not gonna fit in a $600 budget with anything better than an x1600 for video and a basic stick of 512mb ram.

I've been trying ;)

nvm I read the page, its a pre-order.

Still not gonna fit tho.

Meh ebay

1gig of DDR2 ram $70
7900gt $200
Mobo $100
HD 300gb $100
Conroe i dunno

470 leaves you 130 for a proc..... I'd save up to $750 if I were you

A Core 2 Duo with my name on it is currently on a FedEx plane from Fort Worth, TX to Tampa, FL.

I already mentioned this on a previous thread that you posted on.

$80 for a decent psu..

$410

$60 for a decent case.

$470

$100 for a gb of ram

$570

That leaves... Video card, and hard drive for you to choose.

atleast an x850xt @ $160, and a 160gb hdd for $60..

that puts you at $790.
