i am doing a new build and want some ideas.budget is 700max for the tower.
web browsing,gaming,video/photo editing
700 before rebates
live in akron ohio
i will overclock
22inch lcd monitor 1680x1050
only need ethernet 3 sata ports
i need a os
 
i want to go to intel and hopefully go i5 i can use a cheap case like a antec 300 and a 500 gig hdd. i dont have any reusable parts so i need to build the whole tower. onboard video would be great to get me started then i could get a nice video card in a month when i have the extra cash

As gwarren showed, you're not getting an i5 setup with that low budget. Even without factoring in a video card, 3rd party HSF, or case, an i5 setup would cost you around ~$655. In addition, there is no LGA 1156 mobo out there with onboard video.

So unless you raise your budget by at least another $100 (which will get you a cheap video card, a case, and 3rd party HSF) or iive near a Microcenter where you can save $40 by getting a $160 i5 750, an AMD setup is the best choice for your money
