Howdy ya'll,
A friend of mine is looking to sell his mac and get a good PC for gaming. His budget is £1300 quid and this has to include everything apart from a storage HDD which will be bought when prices come down. He would like an SSD for operating system and maybe the odd game and also a wireless mouse and keyboard. The budget also needs to include a nice screen which wont make him miss his 27" mac screen too much.
At the moment i've suggested i5 2500k, 8gb ram, not really sure which motherboards are best at the moment, 6950 2gb, ocz/antec 650 watt power supply and then either a 60 or 120gb SSD as a base for the components. He has his mind set on the Fractal R3 case and also a bog standard Dvd-rw, no need for a Blu-ray drive.
The main uses for the PC will be WoW and BF3 and some Encoding. I wondered if I could get the opinions of the great OcUK forums before he parts with all his monie$?
Cheers,
Jack
