My friend has asked for some advice on a new machine for himself. It will be a gaming machine, predominantly used for playing FEAR at 1024x768 resolution. Budget is £500 if possibly but he said he can stretch up to £600 if necessary perhaps a little more. He needs PSU, Case, RAM, Motherboard, graphics card and processor, everything else he has already. He will be overclocking.
This is what i came up with, what do you all think?
