I've come to you guys because all of you know this stuff really well. Thanks in advance.
So I'm trying to help my brother build a computer. His budget is $1500 including monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers. I've already got the speakers figured out and the mouse and keyboard is easy, but the rest I need help from you guys. I think we want at least 2GB of RAM, 2 HDDs (one for OS and games and one for misc. stuff). Is Intel still the way to go right now? He says he wants to be able to OC it a bit. What video card should I be looking at? This computer will be mainly used for gaming. I have no idea which MOBOs are good and which ones I should stay away from. Can someone recommend a good PSU and case too?
I appreciate the help!
Thanks,
Morg
