September 2010 Best Bang for Your Buck Build

With school back under way, temperatures dropping a bit, it's time to start thinking about a computer build that will not only do the work you need it to, but also make sure it's going to run the fall and winter release video games.

This build is designed with 2 things in mind, getting the best components for the dollar spent.  Looking at longevity of components, as well as the cost price.
Second, all the components have all the features you need while staying at a modest price.

Since the 6 core AMD CPU is a power work horse, even though its a little more money, it's gonna pay off in the end, as well, the solid state hard drive in this build is priced really well, has important features, like being bootable, and being able to handle many rewrites and reads.  (Longevity)
