So what is he coming from?

A dell system he got in 2004 w/ an intel P4, 1GB DDR, X300SE or some stupid shit.

The new stuff?

Antec Nine Hundred
GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-DS4H AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 3.1GHz Socket AM2 89W
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0
PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V

Spoiler:

He's ordering the memory and HD's tonight. With the memory & HD's it came to roughly $800USD

The joy of smelling the new unused computer parts Smile

I do work for free for family (he's like a brother to me), if anything I'll see if he'll let me keep the shit for my mame cabinet.

well shipping was close to 100 due to it shipping from California to the midwest and the case isn't....light...

and for a computer build like this, 800 is fairly cheap considering I paid about 2K for all the shit on my computer when I got it

gunna have him get some kingston hyperX, and just some western digital SATAII's. He might do a raptor if he can get the money.

nice combo , but you could have picked the 790x version of the mobo which is the exact same one but without the onboard graphics , you would save 30 bucks

he liked the idea of having a backup gfx in case he ever needed to RMA the card or something.

good choice , i wouldnt get any sort of raptor, they are very expensive. any WD 640gb would be great speedwise either blue edition or black edition.
