$520 Build For Friend
Well, my friend was in need of a system around $520 including all of the rebates and stuff while not exceeding a $600 initial price. He wants the system for some occasional general gaming and he's not really planning on overclocking the CPU that much. So here is the list of parts I thought he should get. Can you guys please critique this build for me? Thanks.

Oh wow thank you! That build looks even better and cheaper and I could bump his card up to a 4850 if he needed to.
