Radeon HD 6850 - $150 ($20+$30 Rebates = $100 total.. if I can get both rebates)
AMD Phenom II Black Edition X4 980 - $160
Cool Master V8 CPU cooler - $40
Cool Master 120mm Cooling fan x2 - $10 ($5bucks each, might get a 3rd one)
OCZ FATAL1TY 550W power supply - $30
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9 - $60 ($60sale at ncix but will price match it at ME for 25% difference off)
Antec Three Hundred Versatile Mid Tower Gamer - Free

Roughly total price $450
Missing Harddrive + mother board



But I do have this mother board
MSI 870-G45 mother board - $50 ($15 mail rebate discount )
Or
NCIX.com - Buy ASUS M4N68T-M V2 mATX AM3 GF7025 NF603A DDR3 PCI-E16 PCI-E 2PCI SATA2 RAID Audio Motherboard - ASUS - M4N68T-M V2 - in Canada
ASUS M4N68T-M V2 - $66

Not sure if I want to keep it or not.. what do you guys think about it?

Most likely will overcloak it to 4 or 4.1
If you're buying from NCIX:

Buy Yate Loon fans instead. On sale $3.99
NCIX.com - Buy Yate Loon D12SL-12 120MM RED/BLACK Fan 1350RPM 47CFM 28DB 3/4PIN Sleeve Bearing OEM Sleeved Retail - Yate Loon - D12SL-12-RED/BLACK - in Canada

Personally I'd get the Coolermaster Hyper 212 over the V8
NCIX.com - Buy Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus Direct Touch 4 Heatpipe Heatsink AM2 AM3 LGA1366 LGA1155 LGA1156 120MM - COOLERMASTER - RR-B10-212P-G1 - in Canada

Not too familiar with AMD CPUs/AMD chipsets so I'll let someone else chime in on that one.

BTW what's the main purpose for your rig? I'd check Craigslist/RS B&S to see if there's any reasonably priced rigs
