That's not too bad an idea. Your buddy knows what's available there, and for how much. You can post the parts here and we can say if we see anything wrong.
Don't forget to leave a little cash for a keyboard, mouse, speakers, and gaming headset
with microphone. Probably $125 to $200 for the bunch. . .or more if you get real fancy with the speakers and keyboard. This is the sort of thing that ppl with desktop computers just carry over from one computer to the next, but laptop computer owners need to buy when they're switching.
Mouse - $30 to $50 U.S. (I like the Logitech mice, they're always good. The Logitech G5 (
the blue and black second edition) is what I have now, but the Logitech 510 and 518 are cheaper, and are good mice as well.)
Keyboard - you can get one that works well for under $20 U.S. You could get a basic generic keyboard, or you could get fancy and get one with backlit keys, macro keys and volume/multimedia keys. The
Logitech g15 a nice high-end keyboard, but it costs quite a bit more than the generic one. You're better off buying a decent mouse and getting a cheap keyboard if you have to compromise. Reasonably-well build cheap keyboards work fine, they just lack some bells and whistles.
Speakers - This all depends on what you want out of them. Do you want to have a nice surround sound setup for games? Do you want a nice set for listening to music? Maybe you just want something cheap so you can hear Windows sound notifications. You have to decide what you want out of them for yourself.
Assuming you're not going to go the cheap route, try to get a known brand name, or something well-reviewed/recommended.
I have a nice 2.1 set that unfortunately aren't available anymore ( a subwoofer and 2 satellite speakers). I think you can get better quality for less money by going with a 2.1 set rather than a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 set. The ones with more speakers give a nice surround sound effect, and some folks like them for gaming. Of course, then you have to set up the speakers all around your computer, and then you have all the wires, so you have to decide if that's something you want to deal with. I game with headphones on, so I just wanted a good set of speakers for playing music. You can use your speakers for years, for whatever computer you own, so keep that in mind.
Headset - ($20-$35) I've had good luck with Plantronics headsets, and surprisingly BAD luck with Logitech headsets. The ones that have the band go behind your head stay there by pressure: I don't like those. The ones that have the band that rests on top of your head stays put more easily, and is more comfortable for me.
This is the set I'm using now.If you need to save money, get a decent headset and a dirt-cheap set of speakers. The headset will serve when you want to hear something that sounds good, and the $20 speakers will serve their basic function. You can always get new speakers another time.
