I need to build a computer for my friend. All he does is go online and play a few games. But recently I got him into UT so it needs to be able to play that well. He will not overclock so I do not need the best motherboard out there. He does not want to spend more than $700. I need some help picking some parts. Here are the parts so far:
Duron 1 GHZ-$42
CPU cooler-SVC $30
Motherboard-$89
Memory- Crucial OEM 2100 256MB-$50
Video Card-Radeon 7500 OEM-$68
Modem-$20 local store
Hard Drive- WD 20GB 7200RPM ATA 100-$64
Floppy-$8
DVD drive-Pioneer 16x-$47
Please give me some advice as to case, mobo, and some things you would upgrade. The things I listed are $450 without case or mobo or power supply, or cpu cooler. Also, I'm worried about the hard drive getting hot so do you think I should go 5400 rpm?
