A friend of mine wants a new PC, and has a budget of £580
I haven't quite kept up-to-date with current hardware so not sure whats best.
His max resolution is 1680x1050, and he plays games like Unreal Tournament 3, Team fortress 2 etc, but wants the power for potentially playing other games like crysis 2 etc...
Its a fresh system so everything from Case to graphics card is needed and must be around £600 (Preferably no more than)
this is what i came up with
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition 3.20GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail £135.99
