Along with the tower, i will be including my Saitek Eclipse (blue back-lit) keyboard, and my blue MX510 mouse. Both have 'normal' wear, but work perfectly fine. No sticky keys, or any other problems.
whole package for $500

I know its not intel but I could upgrade to intel motherboard and cpu later.

Total 821.92 + 27.95 shipping and 55 MIR = 794.87

The only problem with this build is the e8400 doesn't stay in stock for long.

If you have more money,
you might want to double the ram or get a larger hard drive (500GB ~ $100).
Also if you want to overclock more than what the stock cooler gives you then try to get the following for $17 more.
e8400 without cooler - 199.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115046
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 - 26.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134

If you want to save some money then get
CPU - e8200 - 179.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115047
Video card - XFX 8800gt - 199.99 with 30 MIR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150252
or even cheaper but worse,
Video Card - MSI 9600gt - 164.99 with 20 MIR
