I'm currently helping a friend of mine build a new rig. unfortunately, it's quite on short notice and I need a new rig configuration quickly. Looking to buy from the egg or other reputable online sellers. Athlon 64 is a must, but I've been out of the game since 939 was first introduced and am not aware of any hot deals right now. Please if you could, post a rig setup for about $600. The computer will be primarily used for WoW, gig of ram is prefered. I'll be doing my own research now, but any help would be appreciated.

Windows?

Anything that can be used again from an old system? (Case, optical drives, etc.)
