My friends computer is dying and in need of an upgrade. He's already got a decent power supply and HD's etc. Here's what we've come up with so far as the parts for an upgrade and just wanted to check with you guys that it'll be ok.
Using Overclockers 'cus they are local and he can pick the parts up.

That's pretty much about what he wants to spend tbh. Not much more if it can be avoided.

save a few bucks and get the i3 530 which he can then overclock the crap out of.

The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'

If he's got the cash the i5 is a much better price/performance contender.

Aye but then you've got money to be spent on top of that for a decent HSF, but I get what you're saying.

Tbh I've never even heard of the brand of cooler that comes with the i3 pack, so I wouldn't rush into calling it decent..

Yeah think it's really worth spending that little extra for the i5.

But what I posted is ok then?

Yep no problems with that

Make sure to get a fan if he plans on overclocking.
