No you don't win $1500. My friend is interested in building a PC for about $1500. It'll be general purpose but with gaming in mind. Not clear if he actually needs a monitor to go with it but I'd assume he does. He's not particularly computer-savvy so I guess I'd take reliable over cutting edge.
Also, the graphics card will need TV out. I'll post some preliminary stuff after I've done more newegg research (lol).
CPU: Intel i7 920 - $288
Mobo: ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 - $170
GPU:
Soundcard (I may try to talk him out of this depending on the mobo's onboard):
RAM: 6GB Corsair Dominator 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 - $230
