I can't better that.. Maybe get a 300Mbps Adapter but otherwise Bang on..

Only other option is trinity but that may struggle..

I3 and 7850 is Perfect.
 
Of course :)
The 7850 is also a great overclocker. The next step up from here would be to replace the i3 with a i5 3570k if he wanted to. The i3 is still a great chip, don't be fooled by it.
 
yes, but you get less warranty that way

3yr Warranty or 1 without if you can find them that is

or that's what im told with i5 etc and i can find the info for that so it must be true

i swapped the processor for the i5 and changed the HDD to 500gb cos 2tb was overkill and it won't be ordered today lol

3570k?

If so it maybe worth looking at a different motherboard.. That is if your mate want to overclock to high levels.

That motherboard is voltage locked though can use it's own software to overclock. Its still good though.
