Understand that most of us wouldn't recommend gaming on vista yet which would save you a lot of money...vista i the difference between a very powerful card such as an 8800GT compared to the mediocre 8600gt and it's weaker 8500GT brother.

The parts your friend picked out are okay but they don't let you truly overclock the allendale picked out to it's fullest. Trust us when we say overclock becuase now-days its completely safe.

Here's what I suggest off the top of my head

Case: Centurion 523
Video Card: 8800GT 512
CPU: E4500
Mobo: P35 DS3L
PSU: Rosewill RP500
RAM: 2x1Gb Crucial Ballistix

Add the size of hard drive you want and your choice of optical drive

You would need a screwdriver, nothing else but the parts (and thermal compound, of course)
