Want to stay around that price but can maybe go a little higher if necessary.

Thanks

Thanks for your help. Why not an i7?
I have always had amd builds personally so i know little about intel.

As i said it is for a friend tho and he wants an i7 and nvidia graphics and won't let me change his mind, would it be possible for you to give me a few reasons for the choice if that is not too much bother.

Thanks

Some very nice builds will get him to have a look.

Also how do you post the baskets like that?

Thanks

I think i am going to go with this build to show him. He hasn't really got a clue tbh and will get whatever i advise.
With SLi i know the second card runs slower but how much increase would i expect him to see? basically is it worth it for these two over one higher model?
