Starting a new build for a friend. He wants to spend $1200 for parts. He doesn't need a screen, keyboard, or mouse. My real concern is the GPU. Not sure whats the best deal out there in terms of performance and price. Definitely needs to handle some heavy gaming. I have some parts picked out, but let me know if you see something you can improve on. Thanks!
