Build for a Friend

[Vaxorth25]

One of my good friends is having problems playing games on his lappy (obviously...) Anyways, i told him that I might be able to build him a decent computer to play games on. He plays games like LFD, LFD2, MW2, CSS.... things like those, so not TOO demanding.. anyways. I was able to throw this together for a reasonable price. But he said this is the absolute max he is able to pay, I was just wondering if this will play these games decently. (He doesn't care about graphic levels, just FPS.)

This is the build:
GIGABYTE gz-ph2a3 Black SGCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case-15$
Foxconn A6GMV AM3 AMD 690G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard-40$

All together with shipping its about 580$


I would like to know if all of these parts work together and if they work together nicely. : )

Thanks for all advice!

Yes- tahat will work... paying $21 for a PS2 mouse is crazy though. Any mouse for gaming should be USB!

 

[Vaxorth25]

well, hes on a tight budget and he has a mouse he might replace it with anyways, so thanks for the input

I know it has been awhile, but some people that help out like to know the results. I just wanted to say the rig went together extremely smoothly and he is able to now play Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2, and World of Warcraft with amazing FPS. The graphics had to be tweaked but all turned out to be amazing. He doesn't regret one cent of the build.
