The kit listed here is the what I would put together if someone asked me what I would currently build. I typically build a bang for your buck system. I don't often build the fastest. Why? Todays best technology is tomorows deal.
This make not sound important to you, but let me put it to you in money terms. A $3000 dollar computer system can be made with faster components for under $1000 usually in 6 months or less.

TIP! Do this several times by being smart about how you spend your money, and you'll find more often then not, you will have a faster computer because you can do 3 upgrades when they can do one.
That being said, at least once in your life, if you can, I would recommend you get a cutting edge computer. I did it once, it was great. Now I play it smart. I couldn't believe how fast parts prices drop the first time I went "all out".
If a generic kit just isn't right for you, or you have never built a computer and would like to make sure it's a success. This is probably a good option. You pick your budget, tell me what you want to do with the computer, then let me piece it together and test all the components together before you get it.
The advantage to this is simple. Your system will be tested and working, the BIOS will be set up properly, and you also the the advantage of going with a more advanced setup without having to learn everything on your first build. Learn more about custom build your own computer kits.
March 2010 Cheap Computer Kit
You can never build a computer system for free, but I made an attempt at it anyway and the build here is what I came up with. This build totalled up for under $260, and although it's not a gaming computer, it should do everything else just fine.
All the components checked out with great reviews so it should stand the test of time as well. If you want a gaming computer, I would recommened going with something more.

January 2010 Barebone Kit
Ram prices have finally dropped to be somewhat back in reason. Inspired by this, I came up with a very solid build with a tight budget in mind. The kit below was put together for under $550.
