Friend is after a full tower for £450 re his student Loan :P He is a games design student and favors AMD, So an AM3+ system, needs everything from the ground up, case/psu/mobo/cpu/gfx/ram/hdd/opti.

Have thought about going the APU way but decided against it feeling that it's a bit to limiting, he also needs this before bulldozer is launched sadly but would like it to be compatable atleast :)

Any ideas guys?

H67 motherboard so you get SATA3.0 and USB3.0

If you didnt need an operating system then I can massively improve these specs.

I'm guessing if he's a student with a computer based course he should be able to get a copy of windows for cheap or free himself so more money for the build :D
