My friend and has an old, crappy laptop that can't even make it to youtube anymore. For his birthday I want to get him a new computer, specifically a DIY one.
His requirements are pretty basic. Typical family computer (bills, web-browsing, etc) as well as some video streaming. Also interested in a DVD drive and some gaming, such as Age of Empires and Star craft.
I'm thinking of this combo from newegg:

And adding in...
graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130585
dvd/cd: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA30R2DZ6796
Thoughts? I really wanted to put in an SSD but I am trying to keep the price down as much as reasonable.
Thanks
