1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
3) Where do you live?
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
6) Will you be overclocking?
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit?
My goal is find a way in that price range to get an AMD/ATI 5870 (or dual 5770) and be able to feed it with the other parts.

Offers I've turned down or just don't want but at one point considered.
Edit 1:
Right now I'm thinking PO#2 with PO#4, but then I'm out of $ and a case and hd short. If I can find a case I can use a laptop HD i have lying around till I get more $ for a HD.
Edit 2 (latest):
I'm thinking PO#2 and PO#5 so I've got a little wiggle room for a case and an HD. No chance of getting an SSD this time around, but maybe I'll save and just get a cheap HD.
