Spec my friend a system, 1k budget.

[Damien.]

My friend is after a new PC.

He has 1k to spend on the tower alone.

He would like to play recent and upcoming games such as AVP and BF2:BC.

Spec away please fella's.

 

[Ast3r]

This is a very powerful rig more than capable to play those games at max settings.

Here is a suggestion i knocked together in a few minutes, I am not sure if it is the best choice but for that budget I think a 750 and 5870 would be a good choice.

Wait for some more knowledgeable members to come up with some suggestions.

from my reading , the i5 will be perfet for gaming, even so though i think im going to stump the extra for the i7.
