Computer build for less than $800?

[hellokitty[hk]]

So... Im working on a computer build for under $800, if i can, ill try to bring it down to under $700.

What do you guys think? is there any way i could save money somewere withought really a performance reduction? Should i go AMD maybe? ive always liked intel but for a cheep build, i hear AMD is the way.

I will be buying stuff like DVD drive from a local store and already have my OS.

Does anyone know of any combo deals that would help with just slight modifications to the parts? I didn't get ANY with these.

Without looking at their detailed specifications on Intel's site, from what I can see the E**00 versions have 2MB of L2 cache, and the E**20 versions have 4MB of L2 cache.

WTF!? OH NOEZ! There must be between 800 and 1000 cases on Newegg, pick another .

 

[hellokitty[hk]]

oh ok.

WTF!? OH NOEZ! There must be between 800 and 1000 cases on Newegg, pick another .

Its just that it makes no sense that they discontinued it!!

heh oh ok do you know of any cases with good ventelation?

 

[Matthew DeCarlo]

To be fair, nearly any case can be turned into a case with decent ventilation with the addition of fans etc. If you're still looking to spend around the same amount, take a look at the "Enermax Uber Chakra". It appears to be a high quality case with great ventilation.

Yes it does except that it is HUGE!!!. Also its a bit too expensive and really overkill for this build which i changed to under $700. Preferably in the low 600's or high 500's.
