Guy this is what I would build...all from newegg.com

2500+ AMD - $90
NF7-S Rev 2 - $123
No Audigy -
2x256 Corsair XMS Series - $62x2($124)
Saphire Radeon 9500 Oem - $139

total = $476

Machine you qoute with new egg prices

2200+ - $74
NF7-M - $122
Audigy Platinum - $167
512 Ram - $100

Total - $463

Now here is why I would do this -

The NF7 rev 2.0 is notorious for being able to get up to 200fsb or higher..which if you are going to overclock this will help.

The ram is rated at 3200, so you can oc up to 200fsb no problem.

Onboard video...no way. If you are going to play at anything higher than 640x480 you need a seperate video card. Also onboard video uses your system memory. Who the hell want's to be caught with a machine that has only 448 megs of ram?

The Sound Storm on the nforce boards are very nice.
