but 4Ghz overclock considering he doesnt seem extremely computer savy is alittle ambitious.
id say he could safely get it to 3.5Ghz

overclock the cpu to >3ghz and it is decent enough for that money
Get a Gigaybte UD3R, Asus P5Q, or Biostar I45.
I'll let my brother do the overclocking.Little BaBy JESUS wrote:

He doesn't need a 4870. He plays BF2 at 1280 x 1024. Get the 9800GT and save $100.
/win
Surely he'll only play BF2 for the rest of his life? If yes, then no other upgrade is needed but a GPU to his current rig.phishman420 wrote:
