None of them, because they all have 8600's.

Go with a custom build.

If we can do a custom build, which is not very hard, what is your budget?

8600gt's are not that bad. Just dont plan on playing much of Crysis on high. LOL I am using an 8600gt now and its running great.

OK, here we go:

Total - $754.93

Hope this is ok, should be fine.

Good Luck

would I not get better speed if I got a AMD for the same price as that intel. 3.0 vs 2.6 duel core

That is a quad core CPU, 4 x 2.4GHZ version 2 x 3.0GHZ, quad core wins.

also with the custom build I still have to pay another $100 for vista while the other one comes with it. Any suggestions regarding that?

If you're getting "rid" of the computer you're currently on, just use the code and software from the PC.

Do you currently have XP or vista?

I say get Vista, the new Service Pack 1 has been fixed from all of the problems, so get Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit SP! (Service Pack 1)
