Scambles84 :
Hey, I'm new to the whole building your own PC, a friend is willing to help with the build when I acquire everything. I've looked around but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm looking to spend around $700 and would like to get the best and smoothest graphics I can get within my budget.
I would need everything except a monitor, mouse and keyboard.
I would not like to spend more than $725 if possible.
Many thanks
