I'm putting it together myself. I found a nice mobo, the MSI 870A-G54 (USB 3.0!!), and just built from there. I've got the Athlon II 2.9GHz quad with the aforementioned video card. The case was only like $14. Throw in 4GB ram, a WD Caviar 500GB HDD, a 500W PSU and a basic optical drive and I'm ready to go. All said, it's only like $600 worth of hardware but it should be able to tackle Crysis at respectable specs.
Down the road, I can upgrade to the Phenom II x6 CPU and faster video cards if I need, too, which is nice.
Actually, I owe you a big thank you for your video card buyers guide. You're the reason I grabbed the 5770.
