Just looking for some final advice on this purchase,

He'll basically just be using it mostly for web browsing, emails, movies, and the occasional Flight Simulator.
It's pretty much a carbon copy of my current setup, just with a different Case, PSU, and Optical Drive.
I reckon I'll just give him my current GPU, being the GTX 460 768mb, and just upgrade mine in the process.
So basically is there anything I should change over, or am I all set?
Cheers
Take the Phenom II X4 955 instead, still the same thing for less expensive.
What is the PSU inside the case?
Just the standard 500w ATX PS2 / EPS 12V according to the website.

Then it's probably crap. Get an Antec Basiq or something.

And buy from Newegg.

Believe me, if Newegg shipped to Australia I probably would go that way.
Ahh fuck, sorry.
I'd get the cheapest reasonable CPU you can, and get an SSD for $100. MSY has a few 64gb at around $115 IIRC.
Your dad will probably notice the SSD improvement more than the difference between a cheap and midrange CPU.

PC case gear has a 60gb at $129

For 4 bucks more you can get 1600MHz ram, not sure if that's worth it to you, but it's a bit of an increase I suppose.
ram speed doesnt make a difference
but the ssd is an interesting idea

Yeah but it's $4... so cheap, even though his father will probably never OC.
