Video card sucks....any decent gamming system should at least have a ATI 9500, they apear as cheap as 113 in pricewatch.

Whiuot a decent card he won't be able to play recent games like Halo or Halflife2.

Sell your video card in Ebay. Tell him to get some more $$ and get him a ATI 9500.

That's what I would do for a buddy

All other parts are good.

Not shabby at all, just that weak link in the vid card, but it sounds like he understands what's up there.

At the very least, with a setup like that, he is in good shape for later upgrades. :thumbup:

That's the same setup as I run. You can quickly and easily overclock it to a 3200 just by selecting 3200 in the BIOS. You may need to up the voltage a bit to keep it stable and an upgraded CPU fan but mine runs great, a massive saving in cash too! Like everyone else said the GFX card is the bottleneck, I have a 4600Ti at the moment and it's holding my system back loads. :nxs:
