Price comes out to $509

1) CPU: AMD X6 1045T - AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Six Core Processor AM3 2.7GHZ 6MB Cache 95W 45NM Retail Box - AMD - HDT45TWFGRBOX

2) MOBO: ASUS AM3 - ASUS M5A97 AMD970/SB950 ATX AM3+ DDR3 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 SATA3 USB3.0 Audio CrossFireX Motherboard - ASUS - M5A97

3) GPU: Radeon 6850 - Powercolor Radeon HD 6850 775MHZ 1GB 4.0GHZ GDDR5 2XDVI DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E Video Card - PowerColor - AX6850 1GBD5-DH

4) Case + PSU: Coolermaster Elite 350 (w/ 500W psu) - Coolermaster Elite 350 Black ATX Mid Tower Case 500W 4X5.25 1X3.5 6X3.5INT - COOLERMASTER - RC-350-KKR500

5) RAM: Patriot G2 4gb - Patriot G2 Series Division 4GB 1X4GB PC3-12800 DDR3 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.5V XMP Memory Module - Patriot - PG34G1600EL

6) HDD: WD blue 500GB - Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 16MB Cache 7200RPM 3.5IN SATA Internal Hard Drive OEM - Western Digital WD - WD5000AAKX

So yeah that totals to a pretty reasonable $509 before and $570 after taxes.

Am I forgetting anything or are there better/more significant deals to be had?

Do not get an AMD processor.
