I spent about 1400 bucks, all straight from newegg.com

-EVGA Mobo
-Core2Duo 2.8 Ghz w/ L3 Cache
-4 GB OCZ dual channel
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 w/ 1 GB Video Ram
-1 TB HDD - Samsung
-23" LCD monitor w/ 2ms response time, full 1920x1200 support
-Modular 750w power supply


It runs ffxiv smooth as hell. The only reason I suggest Alienware is mainly for their desktops. Their ALX series is truly awesome stuff, and they have a great liquid cooling setup for multi GPU's. But that is wayy out of this threads price limit.
i built mine a month ago:
CMIII case
i7 950 @ 3.07
2TB WD
corsair c8 24 GB 8x3 triple channel
evga mobo
nvidia geforce gtx 560 ti 1 gb x2 SLI
sony 40 inch hdtv led via hdmi

FFXIV? well..?
