Ram: $142.00 (Newegg)
Motherboard: $124.00 (Newegg)
Hard Drive: $95.50 (Newegg)
Video Card: $369.00 (Newegg)
Burner: $21.99 (Newegg)
Case: $78.98 (Xoxide) (including 2 blue cathodes)
Keyboard: $24.99 (Xoxide)
Mouse: $14.99 (Xoxide)
PSU: $59.99 (Newegg)

Compuvest: $6.71
Newegg: $12.81
Xoxide: $33.81
Total: $1073.59 (all prices in USD)
My budget is pretty much $1100, not a penny over and preferrably less that that.
I need a better processor because i think that will be the bottleneck (correct me if i am wrong)
It would be almost unrealistic for me to stretch another $100 seeing as i already have. I reconfigured from 2gb of ram and a 6800 GPU to what i have now and a cheaper burner and cheaper hard drive for a better PSU.
I know the case is a money hog but it seems very practical with those fans + i absolutely love how it looks. it also looks spacious. Even if i got a different case it would probably have worse performance and only save about $20-30. however this is still an option.
the light up keyboard will come in great handy, I am still learning how to type without looking at the keyboard and this will be in my room which is fairly dark almost all the time, very poor lighting.
like i said I can't stretch any further $ wise than about $1100, and i still need to get the OS and all the equipment for hooking it up to the internet with a wireless connection even though we have 1 pc on the internet through a cable.
so any ideas? btw this is my first build.
