Hey, a family friend needs a pc. their children are quite young but i know they play games in town so i think they would like to get a pc which can handle some games.
However, their budget is very tight and needs to be bought from a retailer as i wont be around to fix it and i have some questions:
1) If i bought from a pc makers with say an asus SLI board, do you think i would be able to overclock it?
I know that dell seem to lock their mobos but if it was a more exotic mobo or one which is more expensive do you think i could overclock their pc? it would save them quite a bit of cash.
2) How would an 8600 do with playing games for a year or two?
3) Do you recon it would be better to buy the printer, monitor, speakers and mouse and keyboard separate or i with a bundle?
If so what budget printer and speakers would you recomend?
4) Would putting an extra stick of ram into a retail pc void their warrenty? As if it goes wrong i may not be tehre to take the right stick out lol.
5) Do you recon its possible to get a gaming pc for under 600 quid from a pc retailer?
Thanks guys, sorry for a bit of a long post. never looked into these things before and they really dont have any money to waste so its gota be best bang for buck all the way.
