Building PC

[asrele]

I'm going to build my little brother a PC for Christmas. Max is $500, still try to keep it low knowing that though. Low but good.

Thanks in advance.

Are there any parts you can salvage or is this a build from scratch? Do you need a monitor? OS? Mouse/Keyboard? Case?

Everything inside the case, no OS needed. I can get that.

Pretty much:
Mobo
RAM
CPU
PSU
I'll have to look at his HD when i'm there tomorrow
Gaphics
Case
Maybe a fan or 2.
I can probably take his CD drive, if not I'll just find it.

This pc would be great for gaming. I priced up the parts on [url]www.newegg.com[/url] and it includes a free Dirt3 voucher.
