So, Wasted was in chat earlier saying that he was building a computer, or something like that, so I put together a build for him. However, everyone is too lazy to create an account on newegg to be able to view, it, so im posting it here:

Case: NZXT BETA EVO
Mobo: MSI 770-G45 AM3 AMD 770
GPU: MSI R5850 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB
PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W
Proc: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz
RAM: Patriot G Series ‘Sector 5’ Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
HDD : HITACHI Deskstar HD31000 IDK/7K (0S00163) 1TB 7200 RPM
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit


This all comes out to $911.92, before shipping, but with $75 of mail in rebates, so thats $836. Most things I chose had free shipping (case has $2, almost free) , so it probably ends up around $845. He said that his budget was 800, maybe a bit over.

Can anyone make a build to beat this?

I ended up going with everything he posted but the HDD... some people had posted that it was unreliable, so I went and picked a Seagate that had the same exact specs for the same price. I have a Seagate external HDD, and it's really reliable, so I trust it more than that Japanese mumbo-jumbo.

EDIT: Also, the case is much cheaper on Amazon, but only because NZXT sucks at mail-in rebates.
EDIT 2: Turns out the mail-in rebate is over and the case is just being sold at $45, so... \o/

That's a nice rig, If you're not aiming to overclock. I might start looking for upgrades, and will probably come back here for a reference.
