My friend's computer just got stolen and he needs a new computer. His mother approached me and said I should build him a PC for X-mas... except she only handed me $400.
Budget does not mix with gaming. So far I have an old case (looks like ATX, has room for AGP and 3 PCI ports), and a whole bunch of 80mm case fans. I'm not even sure where to start. He uses the PC to play WoW mostly, and I'm thinking a mid level AMD Processor/Motherboard, an old video card like the 5900, maybe even a 6600, around a 80gb HD, and a CD-RW. Plus a 17" monitor, and a headset.
Your help would be greatly appreciated... 400 dollars is a low, low budget.
