do you intend on buying your stuff locally or is it possible for you to order them online?... why i'm asking this question is because 8g's will spend differently depending how you get your parts..

*hoping that you reply to that*

Check this link in the mean time, gives you a little idea of what a high end to a low end machine will have..

My humble suggestions:

Motherboard - $1328 TT
CPU - $1302 TT
RAM - $553 TT
Video-card - $1905 TT


HDD1 (OS)
HDD2 (Storage)
Case - Should be purchased locally to avoid major freight charges.  Check Circuit Zone for this.  Costs $900TT
PSU - Any 700W frome Thermaltake, OCZ, Corsair, or Antec.  Should have at least 2 +12-volt rails with at least 20A each (very important).  Costs anywhere from $800TT to $1400TT


I separated the hard-drives, case and PSU because those items should be bought locally, especially the drives and PSU, for warranty issues.
I've gotten burned importing HDDs and PSUs that didn't work, or failed after a very short time.  It costs quite a bit to send them back.
I already explained why you should get the case here.  You can use a cheaper case to cut some cost.

You need to factor in shipping costs for the above ites if you intend to buy them online.  As for local stores that stock the particular
mobo/CPU/RAM/GPU I suggested, you may have to look hard, and the prices will astound you.  Better off buying those online.

8Gs huh, lucky you, my new rig is about that, nay, should be less than that now.

http://www.carigamers.com/cms/forums/index.php/topic,13877.msg185904.html#msg185904

it should be noted im using an after market cooler and a new 500GB hdd at this point

I HIGHLY recommend getting a 3rd storage drive...back up is essential...TRUST ME

Mastermind Solutions in south can get you this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137

at about TT$850

it big as an Antec900 and real flipping heavy eh

i agree with arc above on the E84 and the ram, both should cost near or the same as the E6750 and HyperX in the system i link above now

i should mention everything was had through importing, through a 3d party, so some extra dough was spent.

8k would get you a killer system hoss. (well relative to the avg joe one here)

Wait until next 2 to 3 weeks for new gen video cards to come out. At the very least, prices of current parts will sink like a stone.

Board

CPU

Monitor

CPU Cooler

HDD/Case/PSU, memory...Arcman's suggestions.

Or you can save some money by looking at the case last as this imo is low on the importance list.

Well get a skybox. One from E-Zone, a reputable shipping company is $180 per year or you could even pay for half a year. All you need is a credit card so you can purchase online. Or, you can get one of our members to handle the purchasing for you or even handle everything.
