I don't have a maximum amount per component. I just want to keep the price limitation on the case, psu, ram, hd, and vid card around $350, with a $500 maximum. I am fine with rebates as well. Here is what I have been considering thus far on my own.
HD: www.amazon.com/.../ref=ox_sc_act_title_1
RAM: www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_4
VRAM: www.tigerdirect.com/.../item-details.asp
Case: www.tigerdirect.com/.../item-details.asp
or: www.tigerdirect.com/.../item-details.asp
i really don't care about the peripherals, but it is the highest rated, best ventilated case with a 500w psu included which I can find. If you can find something a bit better, please feel free to send me a link. All in all, if I grab everything It'll be around 350, minus the video card is 200. I'll say I'll spend no more than 40 on RAM, 120 on HD, 100 on a case and psu, and $220 on the video card. Max...
