Good evening forum members I'm looking for some help with specing a friends system.

The computer is intended for gaming so any suggestions would be great.

Windows 7 needed, CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD, CASE, CD ROM, Motherboard and a power supply of course.

Would preferably take a dual core intel over a amd Quad core.

i3 + 750ti
8gb ram, 2400mhz, fast ram for haswell (haswell likes fast ram)
1tb sshd, best of both worlds, much faster compared to a standard hdd, and 70% of the performance of a ssd+hdd combo
you get free shipping so knock that off the price

and before someone asks: omgwtf only 300w psu, 750ti don't need much power to run - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1130 (sub 200w at full gaming/furmark load)
 
 
Honestly guys I like Stulid's build better for the GPU however I think I'll recommend my friend Tamzzy' CPU and Mobo over the AMD Six core. What'd you think Stulid? Or do you think in general the extra cores from the AMD are going to be better than the better two cores of the intel? :D

Does the H81 platform support higher than 1600MHz then? ;)

oh noes it doesn't /sadface
but 2400 ram is only 2 quid more than 1600 ram ;p

The hex core AMD will eat the i3 up, BF4 for example - http://i.imgur.com/O5axjN5.jpg
