Only needs to play source games, and his family are mac users so they dont have any monitors. [url]http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11533412[/url] Its a gift to my friend so, :D
Come up with a build yourself then ask facepunch to revise it. You don't need much for source games anyway. You'll want to include a budget as well. [editline]03:50AM[/editline] And don't always go with the cheapest parts you can find, especially for things like the PSU.
alright then post edited.
Don't get the 9800GT get the 4770 or 4850.
$99 for a 500W PSU? What? Get [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016]this[/url] and we can put the money saved towards other parts. Get this [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103649]Phenom II[/url] instead. Now we need a [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128342]board[/url] that's AM3 ready out of the box. Just get [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227199]this RAM[/url]. The [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102824]4850[/url] runs circles around the 9800GT. Aaaand scrap the thermal paste.

What's wrong with the one I suggested? [editline]02:03PM[/editline] [url]http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Model.aspx?ProductID=3153#anchor_os[/url] Go down to CPU support list; the 720 is there.

You can get [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136144]this HDD[/url] for $5 more, other than that just find an OS and you're good to go.
