A friend of mine wants me to build him a pretty decent PC in the coming month and ive come up with the following. The problem is that it turns out to be a bit pricy, but I dont know what to cut.
Core i7 860 or whatever will be the best value at time of purchase (Maybe i5)
Decent P55 Mobo LGA1156
Geforce 380 or Radeon 5800(this will be the part waiting for, im also assuming they will launch at the same prices that their predecessors did)
64 GB SSD and a 1TB 7200 HDD
6 gig DDR3
Win7 pro or ultimate OEM (will have to decide when a final price comes out)
Cheapish case and 800W PSU should suffice
Its very vague at the moment since it will be atleast a month before purchase but need to give him an idea so he can put some money aside for it. I dont know what to cut to get the cost down. I dont think the SSD is necessary, but I would like to try one
Please dont bother replying if your going to say how good consoles are and how expensive PCs are.
