Ok well my friend just got into building PC's, but he's on a budget, so here is what I recommended for him. He already has the following:
Case - Bought from local computer store, very sturdy.
Hard Drive - 80GB Western Digital 7200 RPM ATA133
CD/DVD - LITE-ON DVD-ROM drive 16x, CD-ROM 48x
Now here are the parts I recommended:
PSU - XCLIO 450W ATX DUAL 12V

MoBo - Gigabyte GA-K8U-939 ATX

RAM - Corsair ValueSelect PC3200 2x512MB

Video Card - eVGA 6600GT AGP 8x 128MB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130220
Processor - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 939
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103537
Total comes to about $459. I figure that ain't too bad and he already is getting a Zalman VGA and HS so he can do some OC'ing.
Does that PSU look ok? It looks pretty stable and I like the fact it has dual 12V rails.
So does everything look ok and compatible?
