Total will be $444.69
Ok lets start off with the case, i chose IN WIN GT 1 because it has everything you will need, and has room to spare for upgrades.
The CPU is ok, it is the best i could find for the price/performance ratio on the intel side of things, 4 gb of ddr3 ram is just fine for gaming. The motherboard is on the low side but just fine for what you need. The raidmax cobra, well because it looks nice and performs nicely as well. I went with a Western Digital 1 tb hDD, i know its refurbished but i have four of them and they all work perfectly fine. Threw in an ASUS CDD drive, because its cheap. Now the big surprise is in the gpu, a GTX 650! He will be able to play Planetside two a high/ultra with 70-85 frames! I hope you enjoy this and if there is any issue or if i doubled a link, just reply and i will fix it, seeing as im getting the cpu/ram/mobo soon. And the case comes with two 120mm fans, which is good for keeping your system cool!
