So one of my friends asked me about building him a gaming PC (he's looking forward to Diablo 3). He has a budget of about 800-900. Been out of the hardware loop for a while, but this is what I came up with.

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146061&Tpk=NZXT gamma
Mouse/KB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.703110
OS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986
Monitor - already has a TV that he'll use with HDMI.
Total comes to just under 900.
I won't be building this right away, as it'll be a little bit till he can get all the money, plus we'll be waiting a little while after we get back to college anyway. Any other suggestions? Most likely won't be OC'ing, just wants to play games decently.
