$500 budget. Newb here - Need some wisdom...
it has a budget $500/$850 computer, might look at the parts suggested there. You don't especially need everything like he wanted. but the parts are not bad reccos.
I know the total prices are slightly and almost double your budget, but with the $850 one, he is getting pretty much everything, (including a $200 screen) so piece out what looks good and it will be a start.
