classic wow player :)

I don't know how many times I've heard that on MSN or phone texts

1 hour later.... they're on a roll! another raid!
 
lol nope sadly my guild will not raid past 12pm est

so i took a look and it looks** great guys this will be a big upgrade for him ty
 
The HD 3200 is quite OC'er.. it goes to 750Mhz.. and it can get COD4 on Extra High @ 1024x768
 
Well.. it gets only 20 FPS when you do (which is playable enough for me)... and when the airstrike happens it goes into.. 6 or so...

But yes the HD 3200 (after the HD 3300) is the best IGP out....

EDIT I meant high.. not extra
 
Great deal on that PSU.

The CPU will come with a stock heatsink and fan. I seriously doubt you will be doing any overclocking on it, so the Core Contact Freezer would be completely optional.

That CPU and GFX card are in a combo, so it will save him $10 if he orders before the combo expires.

To save a little money, swap out the motherboard for this one:
Newegg.com - BIOSTAR A770 A2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
It's not crossfire and all, but I doubt that will be a concern. #30 cheaper.

Swap out for this RAM:
Newegg.com - Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
$17 bucks cheaper. I doubt that he will need the heatspreaders and other higher-end stuff if he is playing WOW.

*EDIT* Gee, I must be getting slow... Besides, I seriously doubt there will be any overclocking, like I said.

tisk tisk trotter, shame for recomending 667mhz ram. these are only $8 more.

Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
 
Eight bucks is eight bucks. It's not like WOW will stress either one of those. When you are pinching pennies, every one of them counts. I should know, as I am having to make them bleed right now.
