Wasn't too bad for standard gaming. It was able to handle Crysis on the highest settings with some lag when the game got intense.
He bought it all from NCIX, and for that price, it doesn't seem too bad.
Kind of an imbalanced rig imo... 8gb ram is completely overkill, 4gb wouldve been sufficient. shouldve spent the money on a better graphics instead... 9400GT is fairly outdated/low-end

for the same money my friend built a Intel i5 with 4gb ddr3 and HD 5770
