August 2010 Gaming Computer Kit with USB 3.0 and SATA III

Yes, I know, another gaming computer kit.  I couldn't help it, the good part about this build is it's very adaptable.  If you don't game, no big deal, just don't buy the solid state hard drive, or the video card to save yourself about $350 and you have a serious home computer.

With the release of Starcraft 2 I felt inspired and want to make sure you can get the most out of this 12GB monster.  Although not much of a resource hog, when used with Bad Company or other games you won't regret being able to ALT+Tab flawlessly while gaming.

Some of the highlights of this build, USB 3.0 available, SATA III is on this board as well.  The processor is a 6 core AMD.  Multi-task what?  Last, I went with a 60GB solid state hard drive simply because the price is too good to pass up.  Then to make sure you don't run out of storage, I've stacked on a 1TB hard drive to make sure you have enough room.
