First off, I would like to thank anyway who takes the time to help me!

Ok, my friend recently asked me to build a computer for him. I agreed knowing it wasn't a problem. I have built around 8 computers, not many, but I can make them work :0. Anyway, since this isn't my money I wanna make get a second opinion on the hardware, compatibility, and whether or not I'm missing something. Also, if there are any other parts that best these for cheaper or are more reasonable on new egg, let me know.

Couple of questions/comments:

1. Aspire cases with power supply.... a little scary. Aspire doesn't have a very good reputation for psus. If it were me, (and if I liked that case lol) I would buy that case, take that PSU out and put a solid one in from a company like enermax, antec, seasonic etc.

2. You mention you are getting 2 sets of ram. Are you going for a total of 4 sticks? AMD processors are not all that good at using 4 sticks of ram. The newer CPUS are better (rev. E6 or newer I think ... of the top of my head...) but there is a high chance that the system you are building will automatically do one of two things. It may go so far as to underclock the ram to 333mhz, or it will set the timing to 2T on you.

3. 80Gb of hard disk space goes by pretty fast these days... don't know the needs in this case, but it is so cheap these days for disk space, you may want to consider putting something a little beefier in there.
 
Turns out what I have may be a little to much mula. So I toned it down a little. I know the case is ****, but I have another PSU, and the case wont fall apart so I feel confident about new setup. Gime a few and ill get it to ya!
 
I really didn't change anything that would differ the stuff I had out before. Did everything look alright? If so what about cooling. I'm definetly not going to overclock anything. Does everything look like it would stay cool? Thanks alot man!

P.S. Yes im getting him 4 sticks of dual channel ram, and my comp is amd 3800+ overlocked, 7900 gt NEW, (corsair XMS) 4 gigs of ram, x2 160 gig HD, and the ram is amazing, so i feel safe with AMD, only thing I worry about is cooling, I have water cooling, he wont!

x2 sets of Ram: Nice Corsair Ram
Graphics Card: He has a Nvidia 6800 Ultra, which he already had for it. It's PCI 16X.

The Ram and graphics card cost $435.00, and the other parts that I am yet to buy subtotal at $325.00 bringing it to a grand total of $760.00. My friend is not looking for super performance. He just wants to play Battlefield 2 nicely. Change anything that I have not already bought above. Please as cheap money wise and as powerful as that can get him.

Thanks,

BTW..that case got really bad reviews at a quick glance..maybe you should reconsider
 
Yeah, but I need to limit the about a huge load, and go with very nice quality so I assure nothign will go wrong. So I guess im screwed lol :)
