    Thanks Jon.

    Edit, I was actually on the page where they have DIY combo's and the cheapest I was able to find was $813 so I'm going to wait for a better deal. I'll keep checking back here tho :)

    Which one's better?
    This (Sandy Bridges) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115073
    or the one you recommended for Intel: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115067
    Both are the same price, but can the Sandy Bridges one also work on the Intel motherboard you suggested?

    Also, can this fit (EVGA GTX 460: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130591 ) instead of the 'GTX 450', bit more expensive, but its on sale (when im typing this) for about $8 less.
    *can everything you suggested fit into a 922 instead of a 932, as a 922 is cheaper?
    Please answer as quickly as possible (preferably today or tomorrow, so I can order it and it will be here on or close to Father's Day, as I would like to build it with my dad :D)

    I plan on ordering all this next week sometime. What does this set up look like and is there an alternative case I could get to knock the price down a bit?

    Here's what I've got...

    "Case"
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160

    "Processor/MOBO"
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.718564

    "Power Supply"
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171054

    "RAM"
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233192

    "Video Card"
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121415

    "Disc Burner"
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

    "Hard Drive"
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136939

    Final Price = $790.92 - I have 800 to spend but i still need to buy SC2 ($60) Windows 7 ($30).

    I'd love this, but I just have a doubt... wouldn't there be any problems with the drivers and all? (Only used laptops, so don't know if that type of "box" computers need drivers)
