I'm currently helping my friend build a new pc mainly for gaming.
his budget is around $900. the lower the expenses, the better, but if not, hes willing to add a little bit more money to the budget.
1. preferably buy all parts off newegg. any US online stores are acceptable as long as they are reliable. (such as tigerdirect)
2. intel c2d, c2q or i7 if its really worth it. (preferably a quad core, he wants it to last a couple of years)
3. as for the video card, doesn't matter if its a nvidia or ati, as long as it will run games like CoD World at War, or Left 4 Dead very smoothly.
4. will need to purchase a monitor also, anything thats a 19inch widescreen or bigger will do
5. no overclocking will be done whatsoever
6. planning to have this built by mid june
7. For the case, cooling is the #1 priority and i prefer to have the PSU located on the bottom of the case instead of the top.
thats all i can think of right now, if i have anymore i'll add to it.
thanks
