As title says I'm looking to build a gamer rig on budget....and by budget I mean around $500..
I did some research and figured I need a kick ass GPU followed by decent CPU.
The only GPU that I can think of is xFx 8800GTs...
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3296600&CatId=2514
CPU, most probably AMD 64x2 4200
For motherboard, I would need something SLI ready, so in the future if I have to upgrade, I'll just buy 2 video cards.
Biostar TForce TF570 SLI Motherboard looks like a good candidate:

I like the dual RJ 45 ports option. Online gaming will improve.. :)
and finally DDR2 ram, at least 2gigs:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3424794&CatId=3408
I will be saving some money by re-using existing parts in my current PC such as the hard drive, keyboard/mouse and monitor.
Total cost so far:
GPU: $330
CPU: ???
RAM: $86
Total: $416
Any suggestions??? ideas...help me out here!
thnx
