have been toying around with things, reading various posts and this is what I've come up with, http://www.digitalstormonline.com/comploadsaved.asp?id=571294 Can't really go any higher price wise, but just wanted to see if there's anything I should switch around.

Pretty much gonna be used for gaming and basic everday internets usage. Obviously for what I'm spending I'm not expecting anywhere near top of the line, but would like to be able to run any current game as well as new ones coming ie Skyrim, SWTOR, BF3, etc without having to have settings at the absolute minimum.

Honestly I would save up another $100 and get a ODe level 1.

Better Cpu
Better Case
Better HDD
Better CPU cooler
Better Overclock

I know what it is like to be stuck at a certian budget.  But I would also recommend the Ode Lvl 1 as well.  Only thing I see different is the wifi card that you selected and windows professional vs windows home preium.
 
The only problem with an Ode system is its pre built and you can't change out the parts within the lvl you have to change lvl's.

Hmmm, didn't even see that system when I was browising. With shipping it'd actually be $165 more, but I could prob swing that. And I guess my current USB wireless adapter<which is a cheaper model I picked up when my previous wireless card died> will get the job done until I can afford something better to throw in it.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Eww wireless. Get a 50ft Ethernet cable to snake over to and plug directly into the router. Hahaha

Do eeet! The cables are dirt cheap, try Monoprice.com or hit up a cable installation/repair man, you'd just have to do a bit of leg work to install them. Or potentially just have the cable guy do that too, but I don't know how much they charge.

We have the router/modem system in my room next to Lilim and then we have a few 50-75ft cables that run out around the outside of the house to the various rooms. Was surprisingly easy, and works great. Hahaha

Hell, I waited out a custom built system from here before, the pre-built wait should be a breeze, it's already on stage 5 :D
