AMD has quads for $100.
I have one for about $550, but I just wanted some opinions on what good parts there were ATM.

Well if you don't need an OS then go with something like this
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 or whatever you like.
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130237
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103706
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231098
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136074
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102824

Yea I was going to throw a 4870 in there but I wasn't sure if you wanted to his the $550 right on the nose. Defiantly get a 4870 though since it will only be $15 more.
