Spec My Mate!

m0r94n · 5 Sep 2006 at 12:48

My mates looking to get a new gaming pc and has a budget of around £600. Just wondering if any of you guys could spec him. He has to get a monitor but will probably be able to stretch over £600 to include it.

Thanks in advance,

Ok a bit over and no monitor, just specced the best i could using Core2Duo as the base.

You could go with a lower card, save some there.

Bear in mind, 2 or 3 of the items above are on this week only, which changes on Thursdays iirc.

Thanks a lot guys, sending him the link now

VeNT · 5 Sep 2006 at 20:06

lol, you gonna let him build it?
remeber to turn your phone off for the next few days or he'll have you doing it!

m0r94n · 5 Sep 2006 at 20:10

Hahaha, no. Ive just been asked to find some possible builds for him. One of my other mates will probably be putting it together for him, if not I should be able to anyway. I should be fine solong as I dont bluescreen the thing.
