I think I did this once before a couple of years ago. I'm making a new system on the cheap. Tell me if I'm making a mistake. I have monitors, hard drives, dvd-r, and all that jazz, so I'm just buying the core components. Here's what I'm going to buy (you'll notice some of it is off-brand):

For price versus performance you should be keen as mustard.

I just built a new system myself, and I have to say the 8800GT is by far the best performance-to-price video card out there. It's $45 extra bucks (Newegg), but will give more than double the performance.
