£700 Budget Pc

My mate wants a new pc for playing the latest games, but doesn't know how to build it himself, can you suggest one of the pre-made systems for him. I'm unsure how the new AMD's compare to the Core2Duo's for gaming.

Building it himself would give you a awesome PC at that price...is he sure he cant consider that, its not particularly difficult.

build it yourself/himself its pretty easy

decent budget does he need monitor and speakers with that?

What does he need with it?
mouse/keyboard/os

Building yourself will give you the best system for your money, but the Oc built machines are top notch if you do decide to go down that road.

The slipstream with a 4890 comes in at £679.98 inc VAT and is a solid base.

That board would let you overclock it further to about 3.6 to 3.7 and a chance of unlocking core #4 if your in to that sort of thing.

i would go for Ultima Warlord package

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-063-OE&groupid=43&catid=1270&subcat=

it will cost about £50 extra with os but worth it.

but building 1 would come out cheaper.

The x4 with the same GPU and an OS as the x3 your looking at £800 on that system.
