Hey guys,
I want to build my brother a new computer and just would like your opinions on which route to go. My bro is pretty much a standard user so there won't be any overclocking going on. But, my budget is pretty flexible (within reason) so while he may not need all the bells and whistles and enthusiast might crave, I want to build him a solid, high-end system that is capable (should his usage change) and that won't be obsolete anytime soon. Here's what I'm considering right now:
Abit AV8 (Socket 939)
AMD Athlon 64 3800+
1GB RAM
~200GB HD
I haven't really decided on a video card yet, but will probably choose something along the lines of a GeForce 6800 or Radeon 9800Pro.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
