Edit (10/7/2010): Thanks for your help guys. All the parts have been bought. I actually ended up getting a MSI Cylcone GTX460 768MB. I was thinking of waiting but said who cares if I'm over budget. It was a nice open box deal so that made it easy too.
Hey, guys. I'm building a computer for someone as a gift that I wanted your thoughts on. I already have some of the components. I mostly wanted your help with the components I don't have purchased yet. As it stands I don't think I'll have enough money for a decent video card. I'll probably go with a 890GX board and he'll use onboard for now, he's not much of a gamer. Maybe later as a Christmas gift or something I'll get him one. AMD's next crop of GPUs is also coming out soon. Here is the scoop:
Parts List (Everything is either in hand or on the way):
Phenom II X2 550BE (Unlocks to X4)
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler
OB Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 890GX AM3 Mobo
G.Skill Eco 4GB DDR3-1600 7-8-7-24 1.35v Kit
