Is he looking to game, or more for a gen purpose PC?
If it's more gen purpose he should probably consider picking up an off-lease tower and throwing in a new SSD. 4'th gen intel towers are going for $100 - $200 locally.
Ordinarily I would agree with you, but he's already got a pretty nice small form factor ITX system which just needs a CPU upgrade to give it a few more years of life.
Update on the WTB: I may have a lead on the stuff I need, will update thread on Friday.
