$1000 bucks to spend on a new comp

[Kerouactivist]

I recently purchased a new computer in august and you guys were really helpful in making a decision on what to buy. I am a couple months behind on the prices and what good deals are out their now, so I am asking for some help!!!

My friend has $1000 bucks to spend on a computer not including windows or office.

This is what he will need
Motherboard ddr or sdram raid not needed
processor and fan (amd because it is the best) oem is fine
ram
case
DVD ply
CD burner
Graphics card with or without tv out
Hard drive 40gig or larger
sound card nothing special but good
3 speaker sys nice sounding
pwr supply of at least 400wt if not in case
opitical mouse
keyboard
Screen preferably 17inch


If anybody can help me in configuring a system, their help would be greatly appreciated

go to newegg. com and look around, they have some of the best prices anywhere

processor : amd duron or athlon ($38.00 - 170.00) really depends on what speed
keyboard : keytronic ($7.00)
mouse : microsoft intellimouse Optical ($17.00)
screen : viewsonic, kds, phillips (all really REALLY cheap)

you dont really need a 400W PS, 300W would probably work just fine

you need to fill out some more specific specs that you can work off, not just say i need this thing and this thing and this thing really cheap, i could build a $500 comp if i wanted, but that drops in to the obsolete crap zone
