My brother wants a new pc, he wants to buy a pc from a competitor which has the following spec :-
Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 Quad Core Processor(2.4GHz,8MB Cache,1066MHz)
Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium Edition
New Midi-TowerATX Case + 550W PSU
PCI-Express Mainboard - SLI nForce 650i SLI(C55) - Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad-Core - ATX
4GB DDR2 667MHz Memory -( 4x 1GB )
500GB Serial ATA Hard Drive with 16MB Buffer
LightScribe Super Format 18x Dual Layer DVD Writer +R/-R/RW/RAM
256MB nVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT - DVI, HDTV, TV-Out
22" Widescreen LCD TFT Digital Display with internal speakers (DVI, 5ms)
5.1 High Definition onboard sound card - 6 Channel Cinema sound

Free Microsoft® Works® 8.5 + 60 Days Microsoft Office Trial
Free Cyberlink Video Editing Suite - 7 titles (oem)
1x IEEE1394 Firewire (onboard)
1x Gigabit LAN (onboard)
Multi-format Memory Card Reader (ATX)
Free Upgrade to 1 Year On Site* - UK Mainland Only (Repairline Ltd Warranty)
All for £799.99
Told him no dont go buying from them, let me build one for you (as you all most prob will say
)
Anyway i goto spec it and im finding it hard to come anywhere near that price ( admitally the above GFX card isnt the best )
Anyway this is my go at specing him a good pc. He needs a base unit + monitor (22") + O/S. Pc needs to be able to play COD4 and general surfing on the net etc.
£80 OVER! any ideas guys!?!? is the q6000 too much overkill?
Cheers
