EDIT: DIY dual core gaming rig for $720

Tom's Hardware has a shopping list for a 4GHz, dual core water-cooled PC which will cost around $720 USD if you build it yourself. There's also another shopping list available for those with a budget of around $1200 which truly yields some impressive performance for the price.

While the shopping list is accompanied by some installation instructions the writer does assume you've navigated PC building territory before. In other words, beginners will probably find the DIY too much to handle. Your chance at a bargain's not lost though: even if you get the parts assembled at your local computer store it will no doubt still be a whole lot cheaper than buying a similar rig whole.
