Putting this together for my friend for a bare budget gamer system.
Comments and suggestions would be appreciated. He only really plays CS:S and COD4 on a 32" LCD. Resolution is like 1280X something insane. 
Already has a 850W PSU here which is overkill and a CM690 case. This is what i plan on ordering for the build.
