Anything I've missed?

[LeftyAce]

Hi all,

Building another rig for a friend, and I think I'm set as far as components, but would appreciate your time to make sure there's nothing I'm missing or could do better.

He's interested in being able to play BF2, Oblivion and Supreme Commander, and DX10 compatibility would be a plus (the 8800GTS is only $80 more than the 7950...)

Budget's $1300 including OS, keyboard, and monitor (he's got a mouse....)

CPU: Intel C2D e6600 (Ordering through his dad at Intel to get an employee discount)

MOBO: Asus P5B http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131030

RAM: 2GB VS http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820145098

GPU: eVga 8800GTS http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130082

HDD: Seagate 7200.10 250GB http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16822148144

Optical: Retail LiteOn SATA dvdrw http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16827106046

PSU: Corsair 520HX http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16817139001

Case: Antec P180 http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16811129154

Monitor: Acer 19'' http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16824009103

OS: WinXP Home http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16832116056

Keyboard: Logitech wired http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16823126013

Total = $1100 Plus the processor; not sure what the discount is yet, but the retail price is $235.

Looks perfect, the only change I would make is to move up to the 320 GB HD for $10 more.

$10 for anouther 70 GB just looks like too good a deal to pass up.

Great find, thanks! Will definitely make that upgrade.

One more thing, your 19" monitor links to a 17" monitor. Thought I would mention it in case you used the 17" price in your build quote.
