I figured it would be easier to get your guys help on this one, so I will get it right the first time.

The situation:
I could go for around $600. (Already have monitor, speakers, all that crap.)
I need it capable of playing modern games (i.e. Doom3, SplinterCell [current setup jaggies SC...])
It would be nice to have a lightweight case, that's easy to get into. (Have a stupid heavy Dell right now)
I obviously want AMD...
I already have Windows XP, no software needed.
Decent size HD, preferably over 100GBs.

Where do you people find these insane deals though? I mean, you people find incredible prices on stuff, and if I shopped at newegg, I would be getting completely and utterly screwed after seeing some of the prices you guys were saying ($10 DVD Burner...)!

Also, I don't mind if some of the parts are used, but I can't buy like instantly, so I woud prefer new parts.

that cpu is getting kinda old as well right? A quick look at pricewatch for $127....ok a64 2800 for $137 and 2.4c for $144. Eat cereal one time instead of getting pizza and your covered.
