    I can build you a good system then. But keep in mind that the system will not be compatible with the new Core i7 but will still be able to perform pretty well.

    You have 2 options. You can get a motherboard that supports your RAM and Motherboard but you'll have to upgrade your CPU. Also keep in mind that you won't be able to use DDR2 or DDR3 RAM. Your other option is to get a complete set:

    BUILD 1:
    Motherboard. $60
    CPU. $165
    Hard Drive. $65
    PSU. $55
    RAM. Your current RAM
    Graphics Card. Your current video card
    TOTAL = $345

    BUILD 2:
    Motherboard. $85
    CPU+Memory Bundle. $205
    Hard Drive. $65
    PSU. $55
    Graphics Card. $40
    TOTAL = $450

    So if you want to stick with your RAM and Video Card you'll basically save around $100 with the first build.
    You could also check this ($228) out and get the Video Card i offered on the top. That'll make a total of $268.

    If you like the second build then i would absolutely go for it friend!
    It supports everything todays products have to offer besides the newly released Core i7 processors and DDR3 type RAM.

    So, that's perhaps the best choice I gotta do.
    Ill collect some bucks (around 500-600$) to buy entire setup.
    It's possible to buy it already mounted, because I never tried that before. There's allways "the-first-time" we do it... so, Ill do it in the cheapest way.

    so... :D
    peace!
    Thanks for support
