Finally struck some luck and I now have A $2000 budget for a full PC, desktop,sound,keyboard,mouse Do you guys reccomend a pre-made setup from lets say "IbuyPower" with warranty or take my chances and build my own from newegg? If so can anyone please guide me to a few links? Not very familiar with the 2 grand range... Thank you :D
 
I know how to build one; thanks :p

I was looking for somebody to help me with a quote like the mobo, vga,ram,HDD, procesor etc*

He'll need a monitor/keyboard/mouse as well. Also, me might need 1TB of storage, but that's up to him.
 
I would even scale it down more, and stick to an X850XT. More horsepower than the 7600GT, even though it doesn't have the better shader model.
 
I dont have the option of buying a Dx10 down the road as this is a family member of mine lending me there funds to buy the PC i cant use lets say $1700 now and $300 down the line, unfortunately :/

Final setup I guess :p :

Not to insult or anything but I wouldnt drop $500 on a video card when DX10 cards are on the horizon. $300 would be the max. Also newegg has 22" widescreen monitors as low as $338. Mobo I'd go with the P5W myself. I just built my rig 3 days ago and spent $1486 with shipping from newegg. Check my sig. Oh the 37" LCD was not included in the above amount =).
