Hi,
My friend was going to get a prebuilt comp (I don't know what's in it- he was going to get the same thing that a friend of ours got so I'm going to look at his tomorrow), but I think he could get a better one for around the same price if he built it himself.
The prebuilt he was going to get is like $350-400 and I guess the video card is intregrated into the motherboard... the person who has it says he can play hl2 on it but I don't think that it'd be a good choice for future games. I don't know how much he can afford right now, but as far under $500 as he could go would be good.
I was thinking that he should get an Athlon 64 3000+, geforce 6600GT, and 512mb of cheap pc3200 ram (later on he could get another one for dual channel).
I don't know what motherboard (I think newegg had a $69 asus.. but I don't know if it's any good), case, power supply, etc. he should get. He doesn't need a mouse, keyboard, monitor, or speakers.
Can anyone help me recommend some good parts?
Edit: I just realized I put this in high performance pc's... I clicked it out of habit.
