Hey guys my brother is wanting me to build a computer for him. He wants to spend somewhere around $700-800. I live in the US so most of my stuff will probably come from Newegg. Im just curious as to what you guys would reccommend for him. It will be for some gaming so I'm thinking a 6600gt video card is fine. He will not be overclocking it so he won't be needing any super high quality ram or anything. Thanks for any suggestions you have.
 
Here is a nice system, but cutting it finely, it will need a case, but that needs his opinion on it. To cut costs down, he could have just one hard drive, but I put two on, to go in RAID 0

can't get any better than that

only suggestion i would make is to get corsair value instead of kingston value

also, does he already have an ATX case and a copy of win xp?
 
corsair has a lower cas latency (2.5 vs kington's 3, not that it matters)

this is only for me, most people won't experience this; i wasted my time exchanging kingston sticks - all four were faulty and most of them received errors within the first few minuets of memtests

they also blew up 2 of my hard drives and corrupted my OS (but i think this is due to my dfi mobo not accepting value ram)
