There's no headroom for any more money, as it would seem. Is there a way to get a better build for less money? I could imagine rearranging some things to add a few bucks and pack on some performance. I point mainly to the 9600GT, but with the MIR, $70 for that card is a damn near steal when he's going to be playing games at no greater than 1440x900...hell, he won't even be playing very demanding games.
What are your thoughts on this build? I threw this together in a hurry, but at 417 after tax and shipping, it seems really good. Count the MIR on the graphics card and its barely under 400.
