Well as some of you may have read it would seem some of my components were defective for my friends build that I would doing for him. So I RMA'ed what I felt were some potentially defective items and decided to start over with a new set of base components.
I'll need the following:
HDD
Case
PSU
GPU
Optical Drive
Floppy (doesn't really matter)
Memory
Mobo
I need to make sure they're all totally stable, compatable, and all for somewhere in the $6xx range (I'm getting his processor replaced so that's not a factor). He'll be using it for Call Of Duty 2 for now but so long as it plays modern games fairly well he'll be happy.
So I've already got the following:
CLT brand Flat screen CRT 17"
Gigabyte Neon Cooler 8 BL 939
Logitech internet keyboard/mouse
Logitech X230 speakers 2.1
RMA Processor in a little bit.
(3200+ Venice)
Here's a list of what I though would be good but I'll want your opinions and suggestions of course.
Corsair Value or that cheap XMS stuff
OCz Modsteam PSU, or some nice antec TrupowerII or smartpower PSU perhaps.
ABIT KN8 Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra

LiteON burner

COOLER MASTER Centurion 5

X800Pro video card
Seagate Barracuda 120gig drive

That should work out to be pretty good and stable I would imagine. Sort of a lowend highend thing going on. Man the X800Pro has really come down in price. From as much as $450 at launch to $186, nice!
