Hi
A freind has asked me to build him a gamining machine for around £1000.
Just base station required.
I am not fully upto date with current CPU's, memory and graphics.
Could u guys help in specking me a full base system setup.
I used to favour AMD but the new Intel's look to be be the best.
I know he wants fast graphics and 2gig of memory

Thanks in advance
