Its my friends birthday this friday and hes asked me to price and build a pc for him. He hasn't specified a budget apart from "as low as possible". he will only be using the pc for gaming. I haven't decided between getting a pre built one, "Primo Basic" Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.50GHz SILENT DDR2 System from here looks good.
The build Im considering for him is
