Someone check my build, please.

[Slayn]

I am building a new computer for a friend, he has this old single core AGP system. I haven't really been following hardware since Sept or so ( when I get laid off, booo! ).

He has this weird thing where he refuses to buy stuff online because he thinks he will get ripped off, but whatever. I have a Fry's and Microcenter here so it's easy and the prices seem right. Please take a look and note any suggestions you might have.

$200 930: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0331303

$200 EVGA X58 LE: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0312963

$180 corsair 6gb 1600mhz cl7 mem kit: http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/ads/2010/07/02/48698/Corsair-6GB-DDR3-1600MHz-Memory

$270 EVGA GTX465: http://www.frys.com/product/6272910?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

$100 Corsair 650TX: http://www.frys.com/product/5539730

$90 1TB WD Caviar Black: http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/ads/2010/07/02/48693/Western-Digital-1TB-Caviar-Black-Hard-Drive

Comes to just about $1200, which was exactly his budget. Thanks!

Everything is OK, the only thing i would change is GPU, I dont like new fermies, they are heating a lot, cost a lot..., but thats only my taste...

Yeah my friend can go lower on the GPU. What do you suggest? I have a GTX260 and I am happy with it, but for the price difference, I think the GTX465 is the best price/performance ratio.

I would go with
XFX HD-585X-ZAFC Radeon HD 5850

You should check out the new GTX460. It beats the GTX465 and is cheaper

Check this thread out: GTX 460 REVIEWS OUT!!

I would go with the Asus P5T Deluxe myself.

That EVGA board only has a 1 year warranty. I would purchase the ASUS or GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0
3 year warranty
