An $800 budget for the tower alone can build you a great gaming PC, but when you include the monitor, gaming keyboard, etc. it becomes pretty hard to fit a nice GPU/CPU in the budget. Does price include OS? If yes you can probably get a 8600GT and AMD X2 3800. I'll whip up some specs.

This is an AMD build, but thinking about it you can build a Intel one for slightly more with an E2160 CPU and a P31 MoBo and get about equal performance with better upgradability at the moment, it's up to you.

If you don't include tax and shipping or OS in your budget you can fit a avery nice keyboard and mouse in there, otherwise you'd have to cut the components down even more.
