My friend wants to get into PC gaming, so now he wants me to build him a PC! xD
The max budget is £700 P&P Included(Monitor,Keyboard&Mouse aswell). Anything cheaper would be awesome. He wants to be able to play games like Blackops, APB(if it ever gets released again), Bioshock and just general games. Nothing too fancy like Crysis on highest settings. But wants reasonably good graphics on most games.
Also it will be used for 3D Modelling and that, which isn't much a strain as gaming but, might be important to tell you guys aswell.
So far I've came up with this, and cutback on as many things as I know I can do without losing too much performance:
BenQ G2222HDL 21.5" Widescreen LED Monitor - Black
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599)
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H AMD 880G (Socket AM3) microATX DDR3
Corsair CX 500W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-500CXUK]
AMD Athlon II X2 Dual Core 250 3.00GHz (Socket AM3)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz)
Asus TA-D21 Midi Tower Case - Black
Western Digital RE2 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler (Socket 939 / AM2 / AM3)
Raptor Gaming LM2 Optical Gaming Mouse
Logitech S-150 2.0 USB Speaker System - OEMSamsung SH-D163C/BEBE
SATA 16x DVD-ROM (Black)
Blaze K3064 Multimedia Keyboard - Black
£697 Total.
:]
Im sure I've probably gone a bit overboard for what he needs, but that's why Im checking with you guys
