He's building 2.
sorry if i wasnt clear. im building two.
Heres the first one, its for my gf:
http://www.techist.com/forums/f75/need-advice-recommendations-budget-build-500-budget-164879/
the 2nd one needs to be bouight sooner since she has the money ready for me.(1k budget)
she gave me 500bucks today so i gotta buy somestuff before the sale runs out.
my gf's current laptop has a 1400pro mobil radeon, so im guessint the x1650pro is better...and for my manager it really doesnt matter what i get her for gpu, anything cheap and good will be ok, im considering an 8400gs 256bit for her.
Well im done building everything and this is what i ended up getting:
E2160 = $74
P35- DS3l = $90
Antec Earthwatts 500w psu with the 7600gt = $120(after bundle savings)
Seagate 320gb hdd = $65
A data 2gb extreme edition = $52
Cooler Master-690= $60
Samsung Dvd Burner = $34
Acer 19" WS lcd = $190
Logitech keyboard & Mouse combo = $50
Total before rebates = $735
After rebates = $675
Not bad right?
So far ive oc the cpu to 2.5 and have the ram at 4 4 4 12. Temps idle around 35-40(on stock cooler)
Im not sure what temps it shouldnt cross when on prime95 load?
Well thats all i got, ill post pics up soon.
I wanna thank everyone for helping me with this.
Thank you.

save up money and get something that will actually do some good?
Get a tuniq tower $40 or Arctic Cooler Pro7 $30 (something like taht)

this is for an old lady...so she doesnt need anything high end.!!!
so the stock cooler should be fine.
