Spec for a friend

[The Scop]

Hi,

Just like to say thanks again for the help on my spec stuff the other week, now I've got another to hand. One of my mates wants to build his first pc, in terms of usage he plays WoW, Starcraft II (probably on low settings knowing him) and that's about it, lol. He decided he finally wanted to get a new system and seemed happy happy at the idea of building it himself.

In terms of what he's got he has a monitor, keyboard and OS (he has a mouse but wants a better one so I say why not spec that too), his budget is between £400-450, I realise for the shear amount of stuff he wants thats not much but he only plays those games and some other old ones as he tends to use his pc for work as appose to games.


Any advice much appreciated

Sorry mate, you may be thinking of the other spec thing I did about a week ago or so, basically I have 2 people after 2 entirely different pcs.

1. Dad giving me a budget of £600ish to replace the family pc, and although he already has monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc I may have said he wanted a new keyboard.

2. A mate who decided he wants to build himself a new pc (he has a monitor and keyboard, plus an os (xp or something) but wants a niceish gaming mouse) but unfortuantely seems to be being either bit stingey with the budget or a bit hard up for dough atm.

Hope that clears up confusion
