Hey, I have a friend that's come to me for his computer needs. He asked me to help him get a gaming computer (His First Ever) He's mainly getting it for Star Wars: The Old Republic. He's very iffy about his money, he want's everything to come at once with the exception of maybe one item or too, so I figured I'd just pick up a combo deal DIY kit fron Newegg.
Here's what I picked.

Now the downfall here, is that all builds are usually missing one essential piece. This one is missing a Graphics Card. I need help find a graphics card that would fit this particular build. I've never bought part's for a computer before and this is relatively new too me as well, but I know for I can put it together, just not really sure about compatibility at the moment for a Video Card that fits this build.
I wouldn't really recommend that build at all. The FX-4100 was meticulously underpowered. Get an i3 2100 build, it'll probably outperform it.
As for graphics cards, ensure that the motherboard has enough PCI-E x16 slots, and the PSU has enough PCI-E 6-pin connectors (if they're required for that card at all).
The best card for this while being 'iffy with his money' is maybe a 6770 - 6670 at least. I've no idea how demanding The Old Republic is though.
That build sucks, Newegg DIY combos suck. You'll always get stuck with a part that's worse than the rest and that you really don't want. What's his budget?
