Building Comp From Left overs. ($200 budget)

[Jake_Steel]

I'm trying to build a gaming computer for a friend with a budget of $200 + random spare comp parts. I've got a build together but would like some one to glance over it and see if something needs to be replaced or if you think that 'x' would be a better choice. Thanks for the help.

Parts that we already have:

[b]CPU:[/b] Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
[b]GPU:[/b] Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512mb
[b]GPU Cooler:[/b] ARCTIC COOLING Accelero S1 Rev.2 VGA Cooler

[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144478[/url] cheaper, better RAM
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181[/url] better HDD

not happy with the PSU but I doubt you'll get any better with this budget, should be alright for these specs anyway but I wouldn't upgrade without considering the PSU

RAM 44$ with rebates: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145251&cm_re=Corsair_xms-_-20-145-251-_-Product[/url]
And this could be a cheaper alternative for the mobo: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135270&cm_re=lga_775_motherboard_ddr3-_-13-135-270-_-Product[/url]
PSU: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016&cm_re=ocz_modxstream_pro_power_supply-_-17-341-016-_-Product[/url]
The PSU is a bit costy for this budget, but this one has got a 3 year warrenty and from what I've read 86% efficiency.

I vote for my RAM, as it is 3$ cheaper.

Yea I'm not to thrilled about the PSU but I don't think there are any real plans to upgrade this system in the future. Plan is to use this until the summer where he'll get enough to build a new current comp.

Changed mem and HDD. The DDR3 1333mhz will work with that motherboard right? It will just down clock to 1066mhz?

[Reapaninja]

yeah but you can just set it back to 1333 in the BIOS
