Memory?

If you gave use links to the actual products we might be able to find you a few better deals.
 
i know the cpu is decent. Im mainly building it so he can game on it decently. Curious how it would run wow. I think its better then what i have or at least equal. Any thoughts
 
I would beef up the graphics a little. The 450 is a decent card, but underpowered. My cousin's husband is running a 4850 and gets great frames on an original Phenom quad, so going with a 5770 or better, or a 460, would set you up sweet.

Don't shop blind on cards, though. Check reviews and warranties before you decide on one. EVGA is only doing a two year warranty on most of their new cards.

Oh, and redfish is right... look for combos where you can.
