hey guys, my friend is trying to build the best gaming computer he could with a budget around 600 USD... Can anyone come up with a list of items and links he can buy? He would not be planning on overclocking the pc. Thanks
 
Here is one skidude arranged for me (i cant thank him enough):

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice $152.00
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103535

Sapphire Radeon X700 256 mb. PCI-Express $103.00
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102578

MSI K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 PCI-E Motherboard $83.00
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130491

Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB Hard Drive $104.00
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822144417

ENERMAX Whisper II PSU $76.00
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103464

SAMSUNG Black 16X DVD+R DVD Burner $38.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151091

Corsair Value 1Gb (512mb. x2) PC3200 RAM $82.00

NZXT Guardian (His Case) Comes in either black, silver, yellow, red, green, or blue. $60.00

This totals out to 698.99 (without shipping)
You could probably save a little money by getting a smaller hard drive if this is out of his budget.
He'd also need his own keyboard, mouse, monitor...and operating system

Shoots over a bit and had to skimp 512MB to keep it under $700 but its a hell of a damn system for the price. :)

that does look like a hell of a system :D but sorry, i didn't mention he needs case/psu too. I'll check them out and try to add just cheap case and a decent psu and press the price down a bit.
 
yup :D also there's a deal for a 160gig SATA harddrive for 20 bucks at compusa during blackfriday, i'll have him grab that and i'll grab one for myself :D too good of a deal to miss.

yes save on these, the processor especially, you should just be able to get under the 600 limit
