[Trotter]

Yes, as well as on Black Friday, but that's a ways off (two months).

He has now done more shopping around and made some changes to his build. I will put them here in the order he sent them.

1st change:
He changed the hard drive and DVD drive to what trotter said, changed the GPU and PSU and also added a aftermarket fan and heatsink.

It comes out to around $630 after mail-in rebates.

What do you guys think of these changes and the build overall? I think he will probably buy it now instead of waiting till later.

Those will work.

Well he bought it on Tuesday so I'll probably need help in about a week for assembly advice (I'm going to help him). Thanks for all the advice everyone.
