Hello all,
My friend has asked me to make him a Custom Gaming PC. His budget is less than £550, NO MORE PLEASE.
He's a moderate gamer and he wants to play Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and other big release title at Medium - High settings @1080p through his TV.
He already has a TV, Keyboard and Mouse. I have the software like the OS so all I need is the Components. He doesn't want to Overclock anything and he wants to keep the price down. I did notice that the 7850 only uses PCI-Express 2.1 and not sure of it will bottleneck. He's not going for aesthetics so the case will do. This is what I had in mind.
