New build, want to be able to future upgrade.

Building a new comp for someone, who has in the ballpark of 1k to spend. Becuase of the semi strict budget he wants something that will be upgradable in the future. Like the mobo supports dual core 2, cause i knpow he wants to upgrade eventually to one of those bad boys. Oh yea, he will be playing wow, cod2, and bf2 mainly.

- Will that ram work, or do i need to get 533mhz ram? I got that because i know itll work with the duo 2 in the future.

Does this look good, as far as present, and being able to upgrade in the future?

Pick this psu instead: http://shop3.outpost.com/product/475...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Pick the 915 or 930 over the 805.

Are you sure you can't swing just a little more....the E6300 is around $190 and I believe the 805 is around $100. Stick with DDR2-667
