About 400$ but if we really had to we probably could go to 500$.

That is fairly cheap actually, I'm not sure about the stats but I think that such computer will cost around 600$ here if not more.

That PSU is ew. Go to a 40 or 50 buck lower wattage one from a renowned manufacturer like Thermaltake or Corsair. You also might consider springing for a 7750, it's a fair bit more powerful than a 6670. AMD's Phenom II processors are solid, though, and everything else on the list looks good from a price/performance standpoint.

Ya we got some different parts than what we originally intended, brining the price up.
