Hi all

A friend has asked me to help spec him a new PC, he doesn't need any peripherals or OS. Budget is about £800 and PC will mainly be for gaming, so far I have this (Case is his choice and not up for negotiation)

Anything you would change?
Thanks,

Wow, thanks for the quick responses. Ooops about the i5 that was a mistake on my part, obviously removed the wrong one from basket.

Some nice spec lists, Stulids one above seems about the best one to go for.
