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.

OS (64-bit is the same price if you want it)

Comes out to just over $800 after taxes and shipping for me, if you don't need Vista that saves you $110 and if you don't include taxes and shipping in the price that's another $80.

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.

Hello!

Ok, let me give it a try. With $800 budget this is really as far as cheap as it can get if you want to include monitor/keyboard/mouse and want to play those kind of games:

Optical Drive
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA Model LH-20A1L-05 - OEM

Case
COOLER MASTER Elite 330 RC-330-KKN1-GP Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail

Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA-300 Hard Drive - OEM

Monitor
Hanns·G HW-223DPB Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 Built in Speakers - Retail

Video Card
BFG Tech BFGE96512GTE GeForce 9600GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Power Supply
COOLER MASTER eXtreme RP-500-PCAR ATX from factor 12V V2.01 500W Power Supply 110 - 115V/220 - 230V Nemko, TUV, cUL, CE, BSMI, FCC, CCC - Retail

Keyboard/Mouse
Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 B2L-00047 Black 105 Normal Keys 9 Function Keys USB Ergonomics Keyboard Mouse Included - OEM

RAM
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX All Solid Capacitor Intel Motherboard - Retail

Processor
Intel Pentium E2160 Allendale 1.8GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail

TOTAL w/ Shipping: $860

Thats about the best I could do with quality parts. If you want even cheaper, get cheaper RAM, a Micro-ATX mobo or even smaller GPU.

Hope you like it!

***EDIT*** I forgot the OS, so if you want it add about $100 more for Vista Home Premium...

He never stated if he needed Vista or included tax and shipping in the price so I assumed he didn't include tax...most people don't. Without tax & shipping that system came to $720 so I'm sure $80 is plenty for a nice keyboard and mouse. Plus, the 8600GT comes with a $20 rebate.

So parts add up to $800 with Vista, tax and shipping, but excluding keyboard and mouse.
