I remember why I hate starting out at the bottom on a Battlefield game. These starting weapons without any perks or gadjets suck!

If anyone hates Origin, it looks like Amazon has the same deal.

If it's a Mac the regular video cards won't work IIRC. He'd need to get one of the Mac version cards (aka: way overpriced ones). It's probably cheaper to throw together a new Windows machine at that point...

IF you're looking for Windows 7, this was the best deal that I saw:

h8tank is the man for building pcs....he built mine about 4 years ago that I still currently use (until I do a few upgrades recommended by Sas so I can get pwned in BF3).
Nice to see ya around Xsmoker....
