Told him no dont go buying from them, let me build one for you (as you all most prob will say :))

Anyway i goto spec it and im finding it hard to come anywhere near that price ( admitally the above GFX card isnt the best )

Anyway this is my go at specing him a good pc. He needs a base unit + monitor (22") + O/S. Pc needs to be able to play COD4 and general surfing on the net etc.

If COD4, perhaps get the 8800GT, and perhaps get 2GB DDR2 instead. And a 20".

havn' t read the thread but based on you're original spec, you could keep it all the same, and get a Cibox 22" instead or just a cheaper 22", and a Zen case instead, I have picture of my Zen if you wish to see them?
