Processor x2 = 614:

Mobo = 220:

Ram = 273:

Hard Drive = 119(72,000 RPM, 200 GB):

DVD Burner = 50:

CD Burner = 24:

Video Card = 184 (FX5900XT):
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...130-208&depa=0

Is 1484 + your 100 = 1584 (without tax and shipping.... which sets you a little over)


----------------------------------------------------------------

You could sub that video card for a Radeon if you wanted:

Video Card = 159 (9800 PRO):
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...131-278&depa=0

Bringing you to (including your 100) 1559 (which would still put you a bit over 1600 including tax and shipping).

----------------------------------------------------------------


Another option would be to downgrade the processors slightly and get a better video card.

Processor x2 = 408:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...103-388&depa=0

Video Card = 419:
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...130-208&depa=0

Which would bring you to (including your 100) to 1613 (which is definately over your 1600 budget with tax and shipping).

----------------------------------------------------------------


Another option (for more speed and less capacity)

Hard Drive = 112 (10,000 RPM, 36.7 GB):
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...144-200&depa=1

I guess all of my suggestions take you over the cap... Um... you could get the slower processors and the lower-end GeForce which would put you a couple hundred under leaving room for tax, shipping, and cooling.

Let's see, that would be... 1378.

I don't know how much liquid cooling costs... ~100?
