Good call on the PSU
This is what I have so far:
CPU- AMD Phenom II x4 945- $151
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808
Motherboard- Gigabyte GA-MA790GPT-UD3H- $98 after rebates
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128398
RAM- GiSkill Ripjaws 2x2GB- $85
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
PSU- OCZ ModXTream Pro 700W- $60
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018
Hard Drive- Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB- $55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181
DVD Burner- Lite-On 24x with Lightscribe- $31
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106335
Case- NZXT M59- $62 (much stronger than the acrylic one)

Blue CCFL- $11 (this makes the inside glow blue. This is a fluorescent bulb, not an LED, so it'll be awesome)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16800888026
It totals to $543, and still lacks a GPU and an OS. I think it would be better to drop the CPU back a bit to allow for a better GPU. Is that ok?
