Alright. My buddy and I are playing Age of Conan and his laptop he bought a year ago is having trouble running it on somewhat decent graphics, so he's looking to get a budget Gamer build, aimed to run it on high. Now, I've been searching and this is the stuff I have come up with so far. I'd like to cut some more money off this though, as its right above his budget, and I'd also like to choose a different motherboard but I can't decide on one that has a good price and features. He doesn't need monitor/keyboard/mouse. All prices are before rebate:
