Computer for a friend

Jonathan5 · Jan 16, 2009

Hey guys, my friend has about $1,000 bucks or so (maybe more) hes willing to spend on a computer. Neither of us know to much about computers, so I was hoping maybe you guys could help me put together one for him. The only thing he ask is that it plays games. He's getting everything completely new, monitor, keyboard, OS... etc. Hopefully I didn't leave anything out, thank you.

is anything reusable...disc drives ,HDD, anything?

Or do you need a COMPLETE build?

It will help others to help you if you can put any extra info in here to what he wants.

Games he wants to play is a big part ( IE crysys takes a pretty mean card to play well, while WoW really doesnt) any little tidbits you can come up with will really go a long way into getting exactly what he is after!

I need a complete build, and as for games... yea something like Crysis. His old machine was playing WoW and he doesn't play that anymore. Not sure if he'd play Crysis, but he mentioned that he'd like his computer to be able to handle it.

$870 total w/o shipping and MIR

U can add an extra 4830 so u can CF and beat a GTX280. but that will add $100 making a total of $970.

+1 FTW, I agree with spearman...
