Hey Guys, here's the Rig:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1AoqR
I'm currently planning on building it for a friend of mine who happens to be a rather cash-strapped student, so its important to keep the budget as low as possible.
He needs to run some basic Geographical mapping software, but its mainly for his rather heavy gaming habits.
I'm trying to create the most powerful machine possible for the lowest price possible. I do love the "Minesweeper Machine" ideas I've seen on Tomshardware for ~$300, but I want it to be able to run all modern games on high settings and hopefully stay technologically relevant for as long as possible.
Just wondering what you guys thought of the build as you've given me great advice in the past
Thanks
TL;DR:
Budget: <£575 (cheaper the better)
Usage: Heavy Gaming with some Mapping program use
What I want: Honest opinions on how to reduce price without sacraficing too much power
What Will I Recieve From Helping: The soft warm squishy feeling of being kind and helping out internet strangers
