It's a pre-built so I already know where this is going.

Intel Core i5 quad core Core i5-2310.


You'd be better off with an i3-2100 and a higher end video card.

8GB DDR3 RAM.


8GB's of RAM is more or less a standard now a days. You could drop down to a 4GB kit but the price difference between the two is like $15-$20 so it's like why the hell not.

1GB SATA hard drive.


That does not make sense. I assume you mean a 1TB drive, even then it also means close to nothing since you're not giving use information like is a slow RPM storage drive like a WD Green for example which would be terrible to load your O/S on.

NVIDIA GeForce 1GB GTX550TI graphics card with 1000MB memory.


I have no idea why this card is so popular or why it is even still on the market but a 7770 is in the same price range and a better performer.

Wired keyboard and mouse.


Generic junk.

Since they did not like the MOBO/PSU/case, it's more than likely junk which is not ideal, more specifically since it's a pre-built and they can cheap out wherever they can to maximize profits.

Do it right and build it yourself, especially if it's a first rig. The last thing you want is to be let down.

Go there and fill out the form.

I am not recommending you buy that nor am I recommending another piece of junk pre-built.

Translation;

i don't have the patience to wait less than 24 hours for a reply.

TTG in a nutshell.

Or maybe they want to build a computer... 5 months from now. So I can get them a list that will be completely useless when they're actually ready.
