Bundles are usually kind of lame and save you no more than like $30-50 depending on what is offered. I'd only take up bundles if it had exactly what you wanted anyways.
Yeah, problem there is that I don't even know what I want @_@. My system requirements are by no means huge;

Play FFXI
Hard drive for storing Anime/porn
Support dual monitors

And that is about it.

If you're getting a new PC, don't invest too much in it if those are your only requirements. Though I'd still emphasize on a relatively nice GPU at least from a manufacturer that is steadfast in quality standards like EVGA or Asus so it doesn't crap out on you after a few months. Also it's nice to leave some headroom if you feel like playing newer games or go back to older ones on high settings.

Also as Uri already noted, you'd want a hard drive with 7200 RPMs. Don't settle for anything less. 10k RPMs are nice for being non-SSD, but tend to suffer in price and storage capacity in exchange for speed.

If you're looking to build cheap that can do some badass gaming I'll be honest this has some major pro's on it's list mainly that GTX 570.

Oh I had it backwards then heh. You'd probably get more for the XL. I wouldn't settle for less than $50 for that trade in. But now that I think about it, the flash card thingy can probably support GBA roms so emulation defeats the need for hunting down old GBA cartridges.

I'd get rid of the XL and get a 3ds, ds flash cards don't support gba emulation.

At least my Acekard 2i doesn't and it's supposed to be one of the best.

I want an Antec 900.
My friend has one and an xbox 360 controller fits perfectly in that little concave slot on top with the rubber padding.


friend has one of these, he had an issue with the top fan when it was brand new too, apparently they put in a crap fan up there.

I love my HAF 922.

I've been thinking about getting that one, as it looks cool and doesn't have a stupid front panel cover.

wish the side was see-through though...
(dorky I know)

can't seem to find too many good cases with a see-through window and no front panel cover that's not made out of garbage.

They have clear plexi side options.
But then you lose out on the 200mm mount.
Which is the exact reason I didn't get the plexi side.

was going to build my gf a pc with a pink tower and blue leds, but she got a new asus laptop instead.

good thing too as we should move before I build such a thing cuz that thing needs to be sat where it won't get touched as that type of metal it was made out of is crap. the SEC crap

I may have to get that then, moderate cooling is all I need because I rarely go for the best of the best and I don't overclock.

Plus when I move I'm going to have the room the pc's in really cool :D

Thanks for the help Uri, I ended up ordering the one you suggested and a solid state drive as well (Which ended up scoring me a free 16 GB USB stick /random) pretty cheap plus looks like I will get about $120 worth of mail in rebates to boot.

I'd have to take some major computer engineering and metal shop classes to build something as awesome as that. At least one can dream right?

I have the computer skills, I lack the hardware skills to do it though, I really should learn how to do metalwork.

I want to build custom cases for some of my things anyway, I'll look into that for the fall.

Yeah, some of the things you can make are ridiculously awesome. Just takes a lot of skill making it function to form ya know?

[+] for kool-aid

Because it aids in the koolness? You know, it's a scientific fact that the coolness factor instantly sky-rockets if "cool" is spelled with a "K".

EDIT: Also, If "extreme" is spelled with an "X" instead of "ex" something is just off-the-wall extreme.
