Hey, my friend's looking to buy a new PC(from newegg) and he sent me a list of parts that he's looking on getting. Since i'm not entirely confident on my sole opinions I figured i'd get a bit of help from you guys . So here it goes. I think he's intent on getting Intel/Nvidia so something to keep in mind.
