Hi. I think it is time to work on my brother build since his birthday is 2 weeks away. I am trying to convice my parents and my brother to get a desktop instead of a laptop. My mom said to get a laptop for mobility but I dont see them moving a lot. Also, I told them that they can't leave the laptop 24/7.
I currently dont know the budget but I would think it is around $1000 or under since it will cost an extra $250 to ship it here. The lower the better. This build will be overclocked for best bang for the buck. It will be on 24/7 and it will be mostly used for gaming. Not sure what games he will play since the current 4 year old desktop is preventing them from playing more newer games because it has an intergrated video card. He is currently are playing Conquer Online (http://www.co.91.com/) but he wants to try something new. Conquer Online is a 2d game with 3d effects.
Currently it is 4AM so I am tired and I am going to bed. I will work on the build when I wake up. I want to see your suggestions for the build. This is the build that b1gapl PMed me in march for $600:
Also, the budget includes everything like the tower, monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc....
