£700 Spec for a friend

Hi guys,

I know that you are the best at speccing systems. I know my way around general systems but you guys are the best!

My friend wants the system for gaming, internet browsing and skype etc but mainly gaming.

£700 is the limit, and he will need OS, monitor, k+m as far as i'm aware. I have asked him about these but for the moment please spec these in. I will have ago at a spec but I would like to see what you guys come up with.

i've not specced a graphics card as tbh, you've got free shipping, so you could wait for a decent 7950 deal to pop up again on a "today only" special and get that
i also didnt add in an os as i see you're in uni, and if your friend is also in uni, he could get win 8 pro for 50 quid

ah, you're right...guess i was thinking about the members market lol.
dunno if 79xx stocks will last 2 weeks though =x
yesterday's 7950 deal for 160ish quid during office hours was a really really good deal
