My cousin and I both like messing with computers and fixing up old ones. He recently told/showed me an ebay listing where a guy would build a custom PC to your order that your configured online. I have doubts about buying a PC on eBay but the guy does have 100% feedback. I think it would be better for him to buy the parts and build it himself but he thinks it would cost more and it might not work when he is done. This PC would be used mostly for gaming and maybe some internet browsing/online video streaming (maybe?).
Here is the link for the PC that he customized online:

I am hoping you guys can build an equal or better system for around the same price. I think his top budget would be around $650 (lower is better). He doesn't have a preference of Intel or AMD. He doesn't need a monitor, keyboard, speakers or mouse he just needs the tower.
