Hi all, building a gaming PC for friend. He has two 19" LCDs. Need CPU, mobo, RAM, video, PSU and case. Budget is $700, max $750.
Here's what I came up with:
$195 CPU
8400
$90 + 8 ship Mobo
GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3L
$88 + 0 ship - 20 MIR RAM
DDR800 Corsair Fry's deal
$70 - 10 MIR - 10 GCO PSU
CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W
$180 + 8 ship - 40 MIR Video card
8800GT 512 by Gigabyte
$50+9ship Case
hec 6XR8 mid tower
With components I picked we are up to approximately $650 shipped without case, but then again there might be discount for combined shipping, and more importantly there are $20, $40, and $10 mail in rebates. so 650 - 70 in rebates = 580 shipped without case.
What you all think?
edit: forgot to add videocard to the list
