Default Grandpas new build
My grandpa has come to me for advice on what he should buy for his new build. SO I come to you guys (funny eh? ) on if this stuff is good or not. I think its not bad but, you guys have the final word! His budget is $600 and he already has the hard drives and DVD-RW drives. This is what I was thinking of

Case - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16811125457
Mobo - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16813131590
GPU - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814130017
PSU - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16817182016
CPU - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16819116001
RAM - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820211012
CPU Fan - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16835106061
GPU Fan - http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16835118001

BTW guys, he's a lite/med gamer. He plays some BF2, Tomb Raider Legend, Source games, F.E.A.R. So, base it off that. Thanks guys!

You could get a different mobo. You dont need a microATX board for that case.

I wish my grandpa played BF2 and CS:S.

i'd say you get him an X1900GT just in case he wants to pwn some whipper-snapper noobs on BF2/CS:S :P. 1GB should be enough, and that Pentium D is fine.

EDIT: gpu link is also dead.
