Hey All,

Havent been on much for past couple months so a tad out of it with all new hardware thats been released, below is a build spec for a friend of a friend.

Only use is gaming, his budget is 1k, realize mine is over but if he objects to extra 20 quid ill drop the ram to 1600mhz, or get him to pick a case thats 20 quid cheaper

He wont be dualing graphics cards in future, just wants one solid build that will last.

Please comment & criticise as im sure theyll be a fair few things wrong :D
 
Cheers stulid

Im sure if i squeeze some pennys from case could put extra 10 for the d3hp (although i do like the look of the storm II)

and i did look at the cheaper HDD but thought extra 4 quid was worth it for extra years warranty?

and ill change PSU to one you suggested. thanks.

how's about this?
 
Thanks for build tamzy,

Slightly further over budget though. Ill definately consider the zalman case, however i'd prefer to drop to a lower capacity SSD and get a modular PSU.
