Look what I found for a little bit more money. It's way lower than on most other sites, but I didn't read the fine print. And I think I saw free shipping. Also newegg has this for almost $50 more. I had found a phenom X3 for same price, but looks like it sold out already. http://www.directron.com/adx6000czbox.html
Would still keep it under $350, and you would be able to play most games out there. I have a slightly less performing machine and play most games at high resolution
