Okay so my friend wants a new computer because his laptop cannot run any games. He was originally going to buy a prebuilt cyberpower PC ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229361 ) but I am trying to convince him that it is a better deal to build your own. I have this ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/18Q5v ) picked out but just wanted some feedback and   expected performance. If anyone has other ideas feel free to post. His budget is around $500 USD and he needs a monitor. 

FX 6300 - MSI 7870 Ghz - M5A97 R2.0 - Team Vulcan 8GB - WD Caviar Blue 1TB - Rosewill HIVE 550w - NZXT Source 210 (white) - Loud Fans

Peripherals - Logitech G105 - Cobra mouse - Acer G236HL - Logitech desktop mic - Logitech LS21 - Audio Technica ATH-M30

Laptop - Acer Aspire V3 - A84500m - 7670m - 15.6" screen (1366x768) - 3.5GB DDR3  - 500GB Scorpio Blue

To me it looks decent enough.

That's not a good change, I wouldn't recommend 4xxx and 6xxx Bulldozer CPU's and that Phenom II x4 is a decent CPU for that budget.

Watch out, there might be ninjas out there  :ph34r:
