Spec my mate a 600 > 800 Quid Gaming Rig please.

[Scania]

Sorry for the lack of Pound signs in this post, my mates keyboard is set up for US apparently.... - and I can't be bothered to change it for him.

600 to 800 pound maximum gaming tower, carriage not required as I'm in Stoke.

keyboard OS Moinitor etc not required, just the case & all internals.

Battlefield 2 will be the primary game played, so 2GB RAM & Suitable graphics card (SLI?) are the primary concerns.

Any ideas appreciated.

You could change the X1800XT for the powercolour 512MB version.

Looks good to me ^^

As you can see, almost the same as my PC (check my sig) .

You could get a slightly smaller hard drive and then get the 512mb 1800 but the 256mb version will run BF2 just fine as long as you have 2gb RAM, which you do in that spec.

Looking good, I'll show him these specs and see what he thinks.

Thanks guys.
