Got a friend getting into PC building and gaming.
Right now he's got a Athlon x2 3600+ on 3gb of 800 DDR2 and a crappy foxconn board.
He has a great start besides that. Rosewill case, Antec EW 650w and a GTX 560ti (mine, sold it to him dirty cheap since I support the habit.)
I wanted to get him going a bit more so I priced out some parts based on a Asrock 970 board, G.Skill 4gb and an Athlon II x4 for under $200 but what would be a cheap way to go so he can game until he has enough to build something better?
