Hey guys,
I was wondering what you guys would think of a build i'm planning on making for my friend. pretty much he needs everything but a monitor. I'm mainly just gonna suggest the big parts tho. His budget is about $1000. It will mainly be for average gaming (Wow, bioshock, Gwar, and a few others) and also just for the simple everyday stuff. What I had in mind...
CPU: Intel Q6600 with G0 with probably a zalman
RAM: Ne suggestions? i just know 2gb of something I myself have the g. skill hzs.
Mobo: No idea but was thinking of gigabyte
Videocard: I was thinking of trying the new 8800 GT. Which is better the 256 or 512? i know price is difference.
HDD: probably a seagate 7200.1 350gb
PSU: Corsair 520hx
Case: Antec 900 or ne other suggestions
OS: Did they fix vista yet? or is it still bad and I should just stick him with XP?
Monitor: he already has.
*For this computer I'm trying to build him. I'm just trying to make one that will last him a good while especially when Starcraft 2 comes out (because he's hyped about it) and which is apparently really good today.
Just want to say Thanks in Advance for the help.
