Intel or AMD? what do you need with it? what will you use it for?
Go ahead buy a Pentium 4, since only the newer AMD's are better, go with a radeon 9600 or higher pro, soundblaster gamer, a mointer from microcenter for 175 bucks, and memory from microcenter
Mem = 140 Ultra ddr 400mhz 1gb
GPU = 150 Radeon Series
MOBO = 70 ASUS
CPU = 230 3000+
Case = 50 bucks
PSU = 30-50 bucks or free if it comes with ur case
sound = 120
Lcd = 170
A cheap computer but will run todays high end games
For around 1000$ go party for that price!
alex, please tell me you are joking
Intel suck for gaming. go for Amd Athlon 64 venice core (overclocking champ), Nforce 4 motherboard with geforce 6600(gt if it fits in budget) for graphics.

Is this a server or Game machine??
If your going to waste that much on Procs and the NAS server. You better be planning to do something besides Surf Porn and games.
take a look at your High $$$ Items and ask yourself are they really needed?? the processor alone blows your budget.
lol, why in the god's name would you need that CPU and 7800GTX SLIed?????
get a dual core p4 they are only like 250 for 2.8ghz and get a used x850xt for like 300
