total: $1695.40 a little over your budget but well worth it cause this thing will run any game u want at maximum settings for a very long time, if u cant afford to go over budget let me know and i can make adjustments
Why the crappy PSU? Get an OCZ Powerstream. The modstream is weak on all the rails. The RAM can get downgraded to Samsung UCCC. Get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210 nice RAM for a good price. He doesnt need highend RAM like Infineon CE-6's. Everything else is fine.
