You'd have to take out Vista, for sure. I think if you do that, it'll fit.

Since you dont need a video card, you can go i7, this would be a gaming machine for your friend.

And with 105 in rebates, comes 1018 in total, still in budget with a nice monitor and wireless card as well. Also you can chnage the case if you want, but the v9 is an awesome deals with the rebate atm.

Yeah the 260 is better. I don't know why he recommended the 4770 to you. Really, unless you are on a very tight budget, you should not buy anything less than a 260 core 216 or 4870 in a gaming build.

And yeah, after you take out the 4770, you are down to 804. Add 180, you're up to 985. Then add 100 for vista and that is the budget of 1085. But if you add in the MIR, he'll be able to afford a wireless card as well, and he'll be good to go.

Edit: Uh, just go with baron's build. i7 > bluray burner.

Unnecessary quote, quote has been changed, sorry guys.

 

[Druid]

Yeah, I was on the posting screen before you made your post, so that is why I said that, but yeah, he should go with your build definitely.

 

[baron5]

Ah ok, i thought you just ignored my post for some reason, my bad.

 

[Druid]

Nah you can see my edit in your quote
