Memory/RAM - 4GB Kit DDR2 800 Kingston-HyperX $89
HDD - W.D 500Gb $85D SATA $85
Video Card - 512mb 9600GT ASUS $158
Monitor - 22” 5ms DVI WS Acer X223W $194
PSU - Thermaltake ToughPower 600W / 750W $140 / $179

How much Wattage should the power supply be?
Is the Asus P5Q PRO any good?

Okay
1. That GPU is not so good, go with ATI 4850
2. 600 Watts is good enough
3. Get a cheaper mobo and put that money on the ATI 4850
4. Antec 900- Nice case but to save money and go with a bigger monitor go with Antec 300

The P5Q pro will do fine. Get the 4850 like NeverForgotten recommends.

Sorry, missed the budget part. :x
Here's a 650W Corsair PSU. Cheaper than the 600 above, and a better name in PSUs. You really don't need that much power, this is the link I've been giving out.

Karawake, He lives in my friend lives in Australia.
I found it in the xpmicro shop, its the same price as the 750w toughpower.

Corsair 620hx modular/650tx/750 touch power modular

Is this for gaming? you may wanna downgrade to a dual core and a better card like a 4850/8800gts because 9600gt isnt all that.

This rig also would only need about 400W at load really so 600 is a bit high

hell, i used that site and it recommended a 320W with quad core and 4850 Confused

I'm assuming you're pricing from MSY? Because they've dropped the Q6600 when I last heard... It's not on their price list anymore either. Sad

Processor - Q6600 2.4Ghz $295
Memory/RAM - 4GB Kit DDR2 800 Kingston-HyperX $89
HDD - W.D 500Gb $85 >> WD 640GB SATA @$94
Video Card - 512mb 9600GT ASUS $158
Monitor - ASUS VW198T 19" 5ms 1680*1050 $215
PSU - Thermaltake ToughPower 600W / 750W $140 / $179 >> Corsair VX-450 @ $110 depending on which state you buy it in
Case - Antec 900 $177 >> CoolerMaster RC-690 w/o PSU@ Looks to be $130 max depending on which state you're buying it in.
Motherboard - ASUS p5Q Pro - $182 @ ASUS P5QL Pro @ $139 or a normal ASUS P5Q @ $172 -- unless you really need the extra features which comes with the PRO
DVD - ASUS SATA DL DVD-RW - $33
KBORD + MOUSE - Logitech Cordless Desktop EX100 $35
Speaker - Logitech Cordless Desktop EX100 $17

For the parts I changed, prices are grabbed from MSY where available.

You may want to consider a graphics card update for your friend depending on how much you can scrounge out of from lowering the build specs, but it's your choice I guess... MSY used to stock Generic MSI 4850s at $209 but they've dropped them now. Sad

The ASUS/Gigabyte 4850s have dropped by $3-4 though. xD

Good luck when it comes to buying and assembling. :p
