Hi everyone - Long time lurker first time poster 
I have been donated a Rampage III (i7 LGA1366) motherboard to start the mission towards me having a semi decent gaming rig.
Running a small business along side a wife and two kids means funds are incredibly tight and as such, components will have to be purchased over time until the rig is complete.
The only other piece of hardware I have laying around at the moment besides the motherboard is a BFG Nvidia 8800GTS (512mb) which currently resides inside my pc upstairs. Unfortunately the ram etc will not be compatible with the new motherboard
So, can someone please spec me up a machine, want to keep cost down as much as possible (as mentioned above
) but obviously understand that you get nothing for free
Much thanks in advance

Basically its as cheap as possible. I have a birthday coming up shortly so I plan to make a list of components that family members etc if they want to can choose from and help towards the rig.
