this is for a coworker's son. he's going to buy most parts from microcenter. they price match new egg. cheapest crappiest case is fine. he does want to slowly upgrade over the years as he gets more money.

i have this link saved from another topic from a few weeks ago. is it still good or any updates? he already has windows so it's not needed
