Any changes to these please?

Hi there,

would you be able to tell use what your friend will be using the system for and what his max budget is?

Also, is he only needing these three core components?

Finally, would you be able to list everything else he already has?
 
250 -300, gaming.

case, psu 750 watt, gf card 9500 gt 1gb ddr2, and hard drives, so pretty much just needs those, i assume he will upgrade his gfx card when he gets some dosh!
 
If he is mainly gaming, you may want to consider including a GPU with the upgade. You could spend £300 on new CPU, mobo and RAM, but the 9500GT will still bottleneck gaming performance - so gaming FPS will be not much better than they were before. So he would need to wait until he could afford a new graphics card before he can really appreciate his new system in games.

This is what I was thinking:

Ah, thats fair enuf - i'm sure he can make it through 3 weeks with his existing GPU.

In that case your spec in the OP is great, however I would suggest going for either this or this board - as they support x8x8 crossfire. Also, I would suggest downgrading the CPU to the 955BE, and use the money saved to buy a good aftermarket cooler for overclocking.
