A build for my friend

HuckleberryWill · 17 Feb 2013 at 12:36

My friend wanted me to help him decide upon parts for a PC he is going to build.

He has a budget of around £800-ish (variable), doesnt really have much of a preference on anything. He is into gaming and screencasting, but might have a small go at overclocking (only minor).
