It will play games like Skyrim on mostly medium settings at 1080p, will do a little better at 720p.

For reference, I have an older generation A6 APU in my Laptop, and can nearly max out Dragon Age Origins at 720p

Oh, you're right, I didn't notice that little detail. Well if he can find a cheap $15 monitor at Goodwill or something, he can use my build for reference, lol.

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146075 $40
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026&cm_re=430w-_-17-139-026-_-Product $20 after rebate
CPU & MOBO: http://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx FX8320E and ASRock 970 $120 Hands down best value for a cpu and mobo. If you dont have a Micro center near you, a 860k or G3258 with any mobo will do the job nicely
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148662 $65 Great ram for a budget build
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487034 Best GPU for $100 hands down.
HD: Really a personal preference, Id rather have a small ssd over a big spinning HD but everyone is different about $60-65

About $400. If you wanted Windows you could get a Legit copy for an extra $60

What about an Acer X183h or X203h same model line. I found an X183h for $5 at a yard sale a few weeks ago. Very popular and cheap, search on Craigslist for one for about $20. Only 720p but that is all that you need to get started. 16:9 is a necessity don't look at anything else
