My friend is wanting to upgrade his comp.

Currently has 3200 AMD64, Neo 2 mobo, 1GB DDR and a 9800pro, Antec Trublue 480w (not 2.0 compatible).

I have found the:

E2180,
Asus p5k,
2GB Crucial Ballistix 6400,
EVGA 8800GT and finally
Corsair 650watt PSU

for £338.28 inc delivery but is there anyway to make this cheaper?
 
The only way I think you could drop it down a bit is by lowering the PSU to a 520 watt, although I doubt you'd be saving much there anyway
 
If money is tight, this is what I would spec:-

Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail (£43.46)

Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L Intel P31 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (£46.99)

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C5 800MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400DC)
(£28.19)

PNY GeForce 8800 GT 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
(£108.09)

Antec EarthWatts 500W PSU
(£55.21)

Total : £292.46
