$800 Pc

Can someone help me to configure a PC that costs around $800 including taxes and shippings?

The shipping location is California (8.5% tax).

but most of the things I bought in CA, maybe the shipping will be lower, but you have to pay the tax

My 800 PC cost me another 200 when I discovered the PSU and hsf weren't up to the job

So get those right first try.

My system (see sig) cost almost $700 except for the monitor. You should be able to do about the same. Look around on Pricewatch for good deals and then check out the sellers rating at Resellerratings.com You don't want to buy from somebody who will give you trouble!

here is anandtechs guild to a value soho (small office/home office) system and it was 600 bux in july. Here is the guide to a value gaming system, both of these shystems should be well below 800 but still server your purpos, especially the value gamer.

I'm working on a price list for you...
If you HAVE any parts you can use in this comp let me know.

The motherboard I've chosen supports DDR and SDR(which depending on the use of your system could save you a little).

And you can buy refurb 17" monitors at Team Excess for around $70

Purchase speakers locally on any kind of discount you can find or just pick a set you like at newegg. You can pick a 17" monitor at newegg for $115, or a refurb 17" for $69 at Team Excess

If this is just an office machine you can obviously switch to a duron and non-l33t video card and nix any parts you just don't NEED...
But you gotta stick with the AX-7.
