Really not worth it in a gaming machine on this budget. I would put a bit towards a nicer case if nothing worthwhile can be found for $30, and then put the rest toward notching the GPU up as far as possible.

After upgrading to a ssd I cannot imagine not having one. He can pick up a 60gb model for around $75, that still leaves him with $50 to spend on a case

Should be able to play most games on max at 1080p just don't try something crazy like enable uber sampling in the witcher 2.
Re: windows your friend is incorrect. That license is tied to that laptops motherboard

The Prodigy is a very nice case. It's a bit big compared to most ITX cases, but that means it will be able to fit most anything you want to put in it. Dmoney's build with this case and the Mini-ITX mobo is pretty much spot on in terms of budget ($786 AR).

Sorry to hear that.  It's a shame that you had to downgrade your CPU, but you did get a bit better GPU this time around.
