Posting this for a mate of mine since the verification process for the forums is taking some time and he cant post yet.

He is interested in an AMD build with the Crosshair III formula mobo and a 5870 gfx.No monitor, keyboard or mouse needed.

Pretty much a gaming pc that can sufficiently run games @ 1680x1050.

Doesnt have a set budget and he really wants the above mobo and gfx.


PS : No speakers needed either
 
thanks for the quick replies guys

he is not planning on overclocking any time soon,so is the stock cooler gonna be ok or does he need to get a 3rd party one?
 
@ kenny : he is not on a set budget atm but i'd say about £1000.bear in mind his birthday is coming up and he might be willing to stretch that if it looks reasonable.he is not planning on changing any hardware on this rig for a couple of years after purchase,unless something dies obviously.

hmm,i'd totally forgotten about the os.he's got winxp atm but with windows 7 just around the corner it might be a good idea to get that as well.
 
@ kenny : any reason for choosing XFX over sapphire that others suggested?i looked at both cards and the clocks are the same.whats the reason for the extra £10 ? :)
