Black Friday Computer for Gaming Use!

[sef24]

So I am moving out in a week and taking my computer with me. My little brother loves playing WoW as well as other games on the PC. (Especially FPS').
So for his Christmas + Bday money he wants to get a computer for himself that will serve his gaming needs.

I made a post about a month and a half ago looking for ideas and now is the time to get the ordering in .

So he currently has...

Going through newegg quickly I have made a possible list but I expect it to have faults. I will be going through other deals and sites in the next 24 hours, but I thought I should start this post early for possible help .
Hoping to make a detailed post to help get more in depth.

Total amount I want to spend on the items I need:
$400-$550/$600

CPU - i5 3570k

Mobo - z77. H77 can't overclock

Vision Tek 7850 2GB seems good buy at 150

well how much does it out perform a 6870? I see an XFX 7850 for $5 dollars more after rebate. Worth not getting the two free games over the 6870?
because like I have posted, this is a budget build and 129$ after rebate for a 6870 seems really good

7850 is quite a bit faster than a 6870, and for 5 bucks more, you should go for it.

meant for the VT to the XFX , the GPU cost is more towards 35$

This is about the farthest I could go in cost and its actually pushing it. Would like to get it a bit cheaper without taking the performance away. If that is possible.

also a question, does cyber mondays make a big diffrence than black friday?

seeing a corsiar 650w PSU for 50$ after rebate seems too good to pass up for now
