Can you beat this system's specs for the price?

Now that SC2 is out, I'm looking for a cheap gaming system and found this build that seems pretty solid for the price:

Can you find anything better for its price? I've been away from the PC building "world" for a while and I'm having a hard time parting out a machine.

Help me
Can't beat it, but I can build one for more with quality parts.


AAAAAAA BURN.


Motherboard should be Asus and only Asus.
Power Supply needs to be a brand name.

I build computers locally for people, I was thinking of going national... you interested in someone building one for you? Quality of the parts are far superior when I choose them over any OEM, I offer longer warranties, you get better bang/buck.... There is really nothing to lose

just something I threw together real quick for ya, needs some work (ie: so-so PSU), but just to give you an idea:

For about 90$ more, you could go i5 750 quad

P.S: I don't pay that price, I get special discounts ;)

another good thing is if you want it to be very small, HTPC like, I can do that too

I think this is decent, considering you can probably get almost every item cheaper by price match at NCIX. This is Cheaper and better! Specially for gaming.

At $514, plus another $55 MIR.

The MIR should easily cover for any expensive shipping costs.

DUDE... you didn't even factor in the cost of the PSU.... at the end, its 642$ - 55$ MIR, 575$ - 55$ if you don't count tax

I would run from anyone that recommended a logisys or any other cheapo PSU for a new system.

No, I'm not expecting to have people do the shopping for me, but from a site called "Red Flag Deals", I figured it was worth the time to ask if there was a better deal out there. I did do comparison shopping myself and couldn't find anything close at that price range, even when parted out.

So it looks like this is pretty decent for the price. Ideally, I'd be replacing the PSU within a few months, though.

you obviously missed where I said it needs some where (ie: so-so PSU), I would never build one on it, it was just to show that the price could be beaten...

Besides, I have contacts and I pay way less on some parts, making enough money for a quality EA650 or TX750 or VX550 (these are budget PSUs in my eyes)
