My friend wants a gaming build and already has a GFX card and a case.

He needs mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU, monitor, speakers and a headset.

Thanks

Owen

Sorry for late reply, been out at an exam. He has a 6850 X-Edition and he has a keyboard, mouse, OS and hdd.

A retail OS? If it's OEM it belongs to the PC it was brought with. Is the HDD SATA, not IDE?

I'm not too hot on headsets really.

Also, if you dont mind B-grade (90 day warranty, probably no accessories/cables) you can get a better monitor:

Thanks, forgot to say he has a DVD drive as well, but that just brings it closer to budget

Edit: And he has a case.

Well that saves a nice chunk then

Could go with a nicer monitor if you wanted,

I assume the OS is 64bit for the 8GB of RAM?
