I probably shoulda specified better, but the suppliers the guy has access to that give him a discount won't be able to give him anything we want. So I'm more looking for stuff like... "Intel > AMD for dual cores because (blank)" and "This card is a better value than the next level up because you're paying $100 more for a minimal performance boost."
Half your links are busted btw :P
But I looked em up, and that's gonna be a bit expensive for his tastes. Like I said, I just want something with a solid CPU/Mobo foundation for now with minimalist everything else, but still able to play games decently.
I'm not looking to play Crysis 2 on it, I'm looking to play EQ1/2, Team Fortress 2, and some not-so-brand-new games. I do most of my "modern" gaming on my PS3 or 360. So I don't want to be spending $2000 on this rig.
I can't go up to the guy and be all "here's the parts I need, they'll cost you $1500." He'll laugh at me.
