A nice budget gaming system that overclocks nicely. If you don't overclock then get rid of the CPU cooler and just stick with the Intel stock HSF that comes with the CPU.

If you don't game then lower the graphics to 8600GT or lowever equivalent and use the money towards a faster CPU.

Assuming you need just the tower.
