Asus.... $45 is really not gonna cut it. If you are gonna build a gaming computer its gonna set you back atleast $100 or so...
What are gonna be the rest of the specs...

IMO, the days of building PC's are long gone in terms of being cost effective. Those were the good ole days. It was a great passive income. If buying a gaming machine instead of building one is an option I would check out a Dell XPS 720 H2C. Alienwares are also nice but they have a nasty price tag.
I personally havent't gamed in quite a while but the lastest generation of games (UT3 for example) are insane when it comes to resource utilization. Be sure to get a beast and , in my opinion SLI is a must!!!
Good Luck!!!

You also have have to consider how much you are willing to spend. Sometimes its just better to buy one. nVidia 8800 can set you back $300 alone. Imagine SLI. Plus the power supply SLI and the MOBO SLI plus cooling... I hope you thought about this already :)

This may be a leeetle big of an overkill, but I'd go with the Intel Quad Core. I'm building a computer right now for movie production, but that and a gaming machine have about the same requirements (i.e. they both have good graphics cards, processors, etc).
Here, I'll show you. It's set up to have a RAID-0 for the OS drive, and a RAID-5 for the data system. Hard drives included, except the two for the OS RAID which I already have.

eh.... I'd have to disagree. Intels are the front runner right now for Speed, and speed is what gamers need.
