Though he needs a new PSU as well. A 350W Logisys will simply explode and burn down his house

[Dwayne]

Heh jdrom17. Now you are pushing to spending to the limits! hmmm well on the AMD build he has $40 left, that would buy nothing but

NCIX.com - Buy Coolermaster Extreme Power Plus 460W ATX Power Supply 12V V2.3 20/24PIN 80MM Fan - RS-460-PMSR-A3 In Canada. is only $50ish... brings him to $210.

[Dave510]

It's just $10 over budget. Mug a little kid for his lunch money and you've got it.

[jcmaz]

LOLZ, but i can't do that...

i was thinking about getting my friend's AMD 3800+ and the Gigabyte 770 UD3 and some cheap ram.
