Hey, is probably the standard build I see around here. What do you guys think? This guys current p4 rig is days from death....he has no cash so wherever you see places to cut $$$ please advise.
Also...don't throw stuff at me now...he WILL NOT OVERCLOCK no matter how safe I tell him it is. Here are his needs:
Internet and general office/school stuff: 60%
CS:S and WOW: 40%
He's not much of a gamer...just those two games. So...considering he won't overclock and doesn't exactly have any super demanding games, can he save a few bucks anywhere?

psu: fsp 400w - $75
