You'll be thankful for the GTX560TI for performance.

Can you get your buddy to change the SSD option to Crucial M4 or Samsung 830? (for reliability)

unfortunately no, that's the list and can't be changed

Well in that case, i'd go for corsair, OCZ's have slightly questionable reps...
And the 120GB flavour obviously! (if the price difference doesn't bother you?!)

I'd definitely go with the 7850 over the graphics cards listed.

And the gigabyte board.

Sounds like hes not building it rather ordering a ready made system that can have a few components tweaked and making a bit of money as the middle man.

If he can't change the SSD choice then he prob can't change the GPU choice...

Is this the case PAULRYAN52?

The 7850 is listed. I should have said over the other cards listed. But im on my phone writing this and didnt

tjp148 · 4 Aug 2012 at 18:24

i can but would prefer any of the other options as there cheaper

PAULRYAN52 · 4 Aug 2012 at 18:29

unless its worth the extra £8 over the GTX 560 Ti SC

tjp148 · 4 Aug 2012 at 18:31

What's £8 if you're getting the best Graphics option!
Just forfeit 2.5 pints next time you go to the pub!

560ti vs 7850
i'd get the 7850
besides, 1gb vram is starting to show its age

i'd avoid the agility 3 tbh. get the force 3 instead. (if it really has to be from the list)

PAULRYAN52 · 4 Aug 2012 at 18:38

7850 it is then, is the gigabyte the best mb

Then you must have an extra £8 somewhere!?

AJA though, tamzzy's argument would definitely persuade me!

out of the 2, get the msi g45

ps: how much are you getting charged for this rig?
what are the other specs?
i hope its not more than 650-700 quid, else your "friend" is ripping you off

PAULRYAN52 · 4 Aug 2012 at 18:43

PAULRYAN52 · 4 Aug 2012 at 18:45
