Here are two builds I have one is for the Budget minded minimalist and the other is for the hard core gamer or content creator looking to spend under $1200 on their high end rig. I chose all the parts from Newegg but I will be doing a Newegg vs Amazon price PC part comparison soon; to see which e-tailer is cheaper.
Budget Build:
This build is one with no frills and is for people who want a computer to just do the basic things like go on the Internet and use word processing.
Case and Power Supply
$69.99
Processor
$65.99
Motherboard
$44.99
Video Card None

The cost with tax is about $375 but this will vary of course by state because of America's slew of different tax rates.
