Depending on how much gaming, you may want to go for a 3850. Depends on what games

Looks good, only thing I'd change is this:

Pioneer 212D Burner

Hope he's got a HSF for the CPU...

i would say go for the 3850 gfx, only slightly more money but a hell of alot more power

it's twice as much.


so we ended up getting a e4600 instead and not hard drive or dvd burner. (had one already)

its up and running and works great, i oc'ed it for him to 2.7GHz as temps where a little higher than i would like. (52C tops) also i we got a Arctic coolking freezer 7 pro.
