If you are looking at an AMD build, here is a good option that fits your price range very well.

The total of that is $1384.90. With $50 in rebates and there is a combo on the case/power supply combo right now that drops another $30 off the total, bringing it to $1304.90 before the CPU is added. There is no CPU listed because the Phenom II 955 isn't in stores yet, and I don't know firm pricing. At the moment, it looks like right around $300 for the CPU, and it should be available in the next two or three days. Alternatively you could drop in the Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition which is a marvelous processor at less than half the price of the 955 at $139.99. With the 720 processor, you might even be able to add a second 4890 to the system within your budget. Also, I threw the Blu-ray in just in case you would ever use the computer for media viewing as well as gaming. If not, you can pull it out and save another $109.99.
