Well the 560 TI would be a start, and if he was really unhappy, he could get a second one later. Right now, the biggest game he has on his mind is SWTOR & some Minecraft.

What does it mean by BStock products? Are they refurbished? I have a nice build put together for him for around $850, and that will bump it down a bit. And I would imagine I can get a tb HD for around $80 or so, which I think is reasonable. He has lots of music he'll be transferring onto it...

Thanks for the post! Unfortunately, he has a Mac right now, but I think he can bump his budget up. This is a solid build though, and I think I can convince him to spend the extra $150 or so :)

Hey all again! My buddy is wanting to build a gaming PC to play the latest games with, and has a budget of $650 or so. We already have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate AND a Monitor, so I figured $650 would be enough to get a decent PC for gaming. The only restrictions he has set is NVIDIA...

TPU server up yet? Unless I missed it in first post :D i7 920 stock, GTX 480, Full Everything, 1920x1200, never dips below 30 FPS

Good deal, just a couple last questions then before doing so: Is it necessary to pull all the tubes and clean them individually? Or could I just get away with wiping down the radiator? Should I re-align my Yate Loon med. speed fans on the top of my case? Or continue to have them push...

Thanks for the quick replies! -I will replace the water in my current loop as it has been around 5 months or so since the last change. I will use distilled water and a couple drops of PT Nuke. -Clean out the radiator as in spray with a dust cleaner, or actually get in there and wipe it...

X58 SLI LE Intel Core i7 2.66 Ghz version This was built ~3 years ago I have the X58 SLI Water Block Currently on there (http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_241_589&products_id=26193) I also have a cooler on my i7 that I can't remember the name of...

ah ok I couldn't remember if mine came with some. But good deal, I'll go ahead and tell him to make the order.

ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X... Galaxy 60XGH3HS3CUD GeForce GTX 465 (Fermi) 1GB 25... Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, L... Same Combo, Same GFX Card, Same DVD Burner, Windows 7 Home. Looks like all I need to know before ordering is 32 or 64 bit...

Ehh, he's gonna get ancy and buy a desktop at a local shop such as Best Buy. I can't allow this :| DVD drive is easy, any suggested video cards? and it looks like the video card can go up to $150 now, if applicable with that power supply.

Adobe Premiere, video editing software, and lite gaming.. 4g would probably work for his needs. Limit raised to ~~$750, and that is BEFORE mail in rebates (so newegg price of $750). Thanks for the quick replies!! Understandable.. a little persuading shouldn't be too hard. ;)

I tried doing an Intel Build I'd be familiar with, but dipping into this budget I am not unfamiliar with low-medium end CPUs and mobo's. I'd love to switch to Intel if you could find something for the price range, and even buffer it up to $650 AFTER mail in rebates. Thanks for the suggestions...

HIS H467QR1GH Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI ... Simple card but should be able to handle a game or two, on low? 2500k would be $219 by itself, let alone the combo suggested is $214.98 for board and processor :( I wish

Sorry for the huge delay in response but I have not had internet installed in the new place till today. Thanks for all the massive posts! -This build seems solid, although I have never built an AMD based system. I'm not too worried about this though... -I also believe I can get the student...
