It could be cheaper if you buy the OS,GPU,RAM from other places such as newegg or tigerdirect.

Could people learn to answer a damn question and stfu?

If that person has the money to buy it and they want to buy it, then they will buy it. Yes it is overkill but when people have the money to buy overkill things they will. And who ever said you can build a rig for 1,000 dollars and max out Crysis...LOL

Well if that is your case then I can only assume you own a Compaq Presario SR5710y.

I know most HP/compaq desktops come with uatx(micro atx) Mobo which use uatx power supplies....May want to check, but I am very positive your mobo is uatx which means you cannot use that power supply you were interested in.

In my opinion just buy a new desktop. Check out ecollegepc.com

That's my educated guess, i'm not 100% positive. Call compaq/HP to clarify.

Perfect, it's refurbished but meh good deal.

Plus if you live in CA, no tax and tigerdirect usually has the 2 dollar shipping deal for items over 100 USD

Also don't buy from that site, only buy from newegg or from tigerdirect (because no tax for CA residents and usually have 2 dollar shipping deals on items over 100 dollars)

I'm too lazy to edit my last post. Here are some good PSUs you should look into if you're planing on running 2x HD4870 1GB in Crossfire.

Corsair 750W= $119.99

Cooler Master 700W = $119.99

PC Power&Cooling 750W = $119.99

If you don't want to Crossfire, then find a good, solid 500-600W PSU. Expect to spend at least $50-70 on a good one.

You're more then welcome to do as you see fit, it is your money you're going to putting into this computer.

There is a difference between saving and wasting money. Saving would be buying a decent durable PSU for 50-75 dollars, wasting money would be buying that piece of crap you claim is a PC PSU.

If you're just going to use a single HD4870 buy the following

For SLI, I would get a

No it is not reasonable. He told you that he would pay you 100 dollars and he has to pay you 100 dollars. No one can change their offer after you complete your service to them. It's unethically and messed up specially if they are your own friend. If he just gives you 50, take it and don't talk to him any more. Pray his computer messes up.
