Default Need help picking parts.

Hello fellow Overclockers!

I posted a thread about a case and I thought I would post here hoping to get some advice on what parts to use for my friends build. Most time when I build I go for high to extreme range products and he is sorta on a budget so Im not sure what is the best bang for the buck for small gaming. I think we've decided on the Antec 300 for the case but the rest is open air.

He only uses a 17inch flat screen monitor but he does want to have a gfx card that will allow him to hook up to a 32inch plasma HDTV and get decent resolution. (I doubt he will play games on that plasma) As far as games the only games he plays is red alert and cod world at war so any parts that he can get decent frames on World at war is a plus for us.

Like I said any help would be great. So he has a 650 dollar budget and the case cost like 55 bucks on newegg. All he needs is the tower and the guts. (no monitor, speakers, keyboard and mouse)

Mobo - Gigabyte P45 UD3R
Graphics - 4670
PSU - Corsair 520HX
CPU - E7400
Ram - G.SKill 4gb
HDD - WD 750 Gb
DVD burner - Lite-On

Total - $583

I assume you already have an OS? That's another $100 if you don't, so plan accordingly.

Comes out to ~$697 after shipping and tax, and you get $35 in rebates, so ~$662 total, a little over budget but it should perform well.
