I'm expecting to spend 800 dollars (i got the monitor already) anybody have or knows of a really good configuration for a price like that?...

Take a look at my specs and you will get a idea of a good gaming rig. The P35 chipset is a great product, you can find this in Gigabyte boards such as mine, or MSI, Abit and so on. The Intel quad Q6600 is a four core CPU, and can be had for around $220 USD. Two GB of quality memory can be had for less then $100 USD. The Crucial Ballistix that I have now sells for $55 USD on new Egg, and is top quality memory. A Nvidia 8800GT can be had for around $200 or less, top brands to look at are EVGA, BFG or XFX. Hard drives are also inexpensive, I prefer the Seagate Barracuda's which at 320GB sell for less then a $100 USD.
Most of all you want a good power supply, some choices would be Antec, Corsair, Thermaltake, OCZ.
All in all $800 can build a nice rig!!
Lastly you would need a case, so many to choose from, the Antec 900 top of the line but there are many other choices.
Looking for guru advise!...
