Helping a friend build a computer after he dumped $700 into a Asus laptop with a Intel EXTREME Graphics chip..... No preferences or bias besides just keeping it a Single GPU. [b]EDIT[/b] He wants a case now so add that in, maybe even abit over the budget.

Well, you need a case to throw everything in :[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119215[/url] Lets not forget about that vidya card: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150521[/url] Of course you need a DVD drive: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106276[/url] Lets throw in a sizable SSID for fast booting: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227738[/url] Don't forget Win7: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986[/url] A nice processor to utilize all that power: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727[/url] That 1TB drive for all your porn: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185[/url] 650 watts of powah: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005[/url] That comes to $712, drop in a nice mobo and 4GB of RAM, and you're good to go. Somebody else will have to recommend those, though. I'm out of the loop with them.
