Hi all,
I've just created a basket a mate who has set aside £1000 for the purpose of a new pc.
here is what I ave put together. When I speak to him next I shall see if I can get him to stretch a bit so to afford an SSD as well, such as the Corsair force series 3 120GB. (I'm 90% sure I could get him to part with the extra £144 for this)
Just posting to see if anyone can help squeeze maximum value from this.
One thing to note, he is adamant that he has the best GFX card for Battlefield 3, so I chose this one because I've heard BF3 will require a lot of VRAM.
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - OEM
Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler
Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67 ** B3 REVISION **

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD103SJ)
