I just want to lead this off by saying his son gave me a list of items he wanted and to mee it seemed like overkill. I do computer repairs and rarely build new systems for the expectations of repairing them for the life of the PC. The list he gave me was:
i7 2.66
Gigabyte GA-EX58
12gb kingston hyperx ddr3
ocz vertex 23 60gb (times 2 in a RAID setup)
Radeon 6970 gddr5
1. Computer will be used for gaming. A side use will be his parents browsing the web and uploading pictures. (and probably screwing it up)
2. They are looking to spend between $900-$1100 without a monitor.
3. Buying from USA
4. He wants Intel.
5. No current parts.
6. Read a few similar threads
7. Default system speeds.
8. I need to find out what monitor he currently is using. But suggestions for a resolution are welcome
9. The next two weeks. Unless I somehow find a preboxed system that will suffice.
Thanks Guys.
Matt
