I built my PC for $1200, and it has a $200 sound card, and the dual core AMD processor I bought dropped in price by $150 since I built it. So theoretically, you could build my system, with a cheaper case, for $800, if you use onboard sound. It runs Oblivion perfectly, and obviously that means FFXI and other games as well.
