Hi guys,

My bro is building a new pc and has a rough idea on what to order:

What do you guys think? He's not sure if the cpu/ram/mobo he has picked is the best choice. Will be running Windows XP and playing games on it. He has around £1000 to spend.

Cheers for the advice

Nice spec there, you could get away with a 520w PSU, ie the Corsair 520HX this modular so should help with cable tidying.

Try getting one more 500GB hardrive and raid it.

Why?

Personally i would add better, or if not more, RAM. And make sure you throw 64bit Vista on it to make use of the additional RAM
