New build

My friend has built his own gaming rig and wonder what you think of it
8Gb at 1333Mhz Ram,
500Gb Hardrive at 7200 Rpm
Two 1Gb Radion HD5770 in crossfire,
Intel i5-3450 3.1Ghz CPU

Alright, although there's always the story of how much the components were or if he bought a good PSU. Should be powerful enough for its job but were the 5770s recycled? It would be unusual to buy them new 5770s at this stage.

Decent SSD's like the 128GB M4 can be got for just over 100 these days, that should be his next investment-assuming the PSU's decent.
