Hey guys, I'm just getting started Mining and would like to get a moderately affordable rid that isn't awful. So far I have what I believe to be a decent rig to get started with that won't be a waste of cash. I have read quite a few documents and checked out the mining hardware comparison found on the wiki.
Over all goal would be to make 1BTC a week minimum

Reasons why I picked X part
Case: I like the # of fans, should keep it cool. The 1xUSB 3.0 is perfect because I'd like to run linuxcoin off a usb instead of getting a new HDD
Motherboard: Has a PCIe x16 slot for 1 card, also has a x1 slot I can convert to a x16
Powersupply: I believe that 900W should be good, also has multiple 12v rails
Ram: Read that 1GB is fine and that ddr2 is relatively cheap and that I won't need it to be super hefty to run the machine
CPU: Cheap CPU that fits the mobo
Video Card: Relatively cheap, 1GB of GDDR5 doesn't seem awful
Concerns
I feel that the Video card is not going to be a good investment because it seems that it only gets 200 or so M/hashes. I like the case, but I have never actually built a computer from scratch (put parts together) in a completely empty case and this one seems straight forward (WOOHOO FLASHY LIGHTS). I did some more research today and I'd like to do one of two things: 1) Get a mobo with 2x PCIe x16 slots and get 2 5830s for a total of 400 or so MHashes/s or 2) Convert the x1 to x16 and get a 2nd 6670 to try and make it a better rig.
Any help you guys can give me on parts and preferably the card would be fantastic.
Hey guys, After doing some research I found this guy on walmart.

Any thoughts? Better than the current one I have selected?
