Hi all
A friend has around £2000 to spend on a new gaming machine (tower only).
We were looking at the Asus STRIKER for the mobo but if there is a better option please feel free to change that.
Also a Seagate 500gb 16mb HDD
CPU will be a C2D, dont think quad core is necessary, and a single 8800GTX.
High quality case needed aswell.

Make me drool

Assuming we wont be overclocking..is the E6700 not worth the extra over the E6600?

I'm not sure about the monitor actually, probably an old one so I get him to include that in the budget.
