Thats insane... You could probably sell it for 1000!
Also, you have to be aware of what brands you are buying... For example, that power supply is extremely iffy. Seriously, i would never risk using it, but thats for other people to find out.

Slap on a 9600GT (or 256MB 8800GT), and you'll have a powerful $600 build.

you mean 512mb 8800GT? lol...
Anyway, if you get a graphics card, you WILL HAVE TO buy a new/better/more stable PSU.
Take that into consideration. It will probably add on 200 (GFX) and 100 (PSU) USD to your build.

512MB 8800GT is slightly above the $120 to $150 range.
Have to? Probably, but right now I have an 8800GS (overclocked to 700/1060/1750) a Q6600 (also overclocked to 3GHz), 2GB of DDR2-667 RAM, and dual hard drives running all on a 400 Watt power supply. Just proving that you don't need huge power supplies to power even high end parts.
8800GTs don't cost $200 (more around $170 for the 512MB), and I got my 400 watt power supply for free after rebate ($20 before rebate).

You may not need over 400w, i never said you did but a power supply from a case is a terrible choice...
Seriously, i would never suggest using a power supply from a case, ever... Especially if you are using high end parts. Or even mid range... Probably even low end...

LOL TF2 graphics aren't that amazing... with such cartoony models they don't really improve from medium to high settings. The 8800GTS (512mb) is actually better than the gt and gtx, until resolutions higher than 1600x1200
I would recommend a 500 watter btw.
And even if you did get this PC for an amazing price, as soon as you want to upgrade (2-4 years), you're fucked and you have to purchase an all new system, save the HD and Disc drives.
I'm buying a really nice PC for 900$, and it has compliance with AM2 and AM2+ CPU, 4 PCIE slots, standard 240pin memory slots, crossfire AND SLI compatible, Full tower ATX, and 750w pSU. So it will last forever before i need to repurchase all the parts, which will save me more money in the end.
EDIT: of course, all from newegg. (unless I end up getting another harddrive, because there are better deals out there.)

| I still say we should get a list going of systems at various price points, and see if we can get it stickied.

If you get that you'll be stuck with DDR2... In a few years they'll be gone.

Prices change all the time and plus new advances for computing are always coming out every few months. It would be hard to take care of the sticky.
