I'd just keep it to a single thread then. You're going to get pretty much a similar answer every time you make a new thread.

If you don't provide us with a budget, we can't really help you.

If you don't tell us what you're doing with the system, we can't really help you.

You are throwing money away! $700 and its only a dual core.

This is a gaming build I did for someone on a $500 budget (some of the prices must have gone up slightly since then hence its $520 now). Assuming you are willing to spend $700 use the extra $200 to upgrade the GPU and processor on this build.
