Ok guys theres 750 available here's what my friend needs:

A64 socket 939
nForce4 mobo
gig of dual channel pc3200
PCI-E video card (he requested an nvidia card)
PSU capable of running this system plus his 2 HD's and 2 Optical drives

750 is the max he wants to spend with shipping.

He's gonna use this box mainly for gaming, he won't be overclocking it.

What would you guys buy? I was thinking a 3200+ venice or winnie with a nforce4 mobo of some sort, some regular pc3200 ram, a 6800GT, and some sort of 450ish watt psu.

Any ideas?
 
Off the top of my head:

A64 3000+ S939 150$
1GB Value Ram 85$
160GB HD 90$
Antec Case w/ 380W PSU 80$
NF4 Mobo 100$
DVD+-RW 16x 50$
nVidia 6600GT 160$

That leaves you 50$ to mess around with and upgrade other parts or add a better CPu cooler...
 
Ok to clarify, what I listed in the first post is all that he currently needs. He doesn't need a case, any hard drives or optical drives and has 750 bucks.

I'm not the best PSU guy, but that's going to leave you about $80 or so for one with shipping. You said you weren't OC'ing so that mobo should run fine.

or since he wanted Nvidia get the 6800 GT for 301 AR Here


 
I fear mail-in rebates...but if you trust them yah. I tried to get a 6800gt on there, but it didn't work without that mail-in rebate with a company I liked.
 
i noticed that rebate and he says he's cool with that, so he'll probly go that route.

I've been looking some more and the MSI K8N neo4-F looks pretty good for a mobo, anyone used this mobo before?
