The total for this comes out just above $600. This build is somewhat based off of  this Newegg Bundle which won EggXpert Combo Contest on newegg's forums. I trimmed away what I didn't feel I needed and added what I did.  The idea of this build is most bang for the buck and keeping it within a very reasonable $600 to $700.  Also keep in mind this is a tentative build and can and will change anytime.  Comments, opinions, and rantings welcome.
