My friend says that he's ready to upgrade from his pentium II, he got a $1000 christmas bonus this year, so he wants to put it into a new computer. He knows how to build a computer, and has been keeping his PII as up-to-date as possible, and he just needs some help deciding what parts to pick (for example, until a few days ago when I told him, he thought that intel owned AMD at multitasking).
Motherboard (he insists on having 2 full x16 slots, he's like "I've heard this a thousand times, people say you won't need this or that and then a few years down the road you do", so I am forced to pick this mobo)
Graphic Card (he will be gaming)
Hard Drive (I have this one, it's sooo fast, but if you guys can think of something better for the money...)
RAM ($7 more than corsair value ram with the rebate)
CPU (he likes to multitask, alot)
Case/PSU
DVD Burner (i have this one too, it's awesome)
Total = $1341.14
He is willing to spend up to 1500, but he needs a new monitor (his supports 800x600 max). A CRT would be fine, any suggestions?
