[quote="Jin-Roh":4a83a]My friend wants to build his own computer for $600, good enough for gaming. Gerv ..?[/quote:4a83a]
Has he any parts he can reuse like case, psu, ram or monitor?
If he has all the above you could make something prety decent for $600, if its all from scratch though i doubt you'd get much for $600 in terms of running games at aceptablefps\image quality settings.

$588.47 for the above not including shipping. Not amazing in spec terms but no too bad considering its under $600.
