Ok so i want to get my roommate a computer so we can game together.
I would like him to be able to play all the same games as me( but likely at a much lower setting)
im considering either upgrading my rig and using the leftovers to build his or just buy new.
Here is what i have for my rig atm:
AMD phenom 980X4 @ 3.7
graphics: 6970
Mobo: 990fXa-uD3
Seagate barracuda 3TB
Seagate barracuda 1TB
100 gb ssd
mushkin 8gb ddr3-1600
I also have a monitor and optical drive for the new machine, and i think we can skimp on the OS.
considering giving him the 1tb hard drive
i can put it together myself.
He has an ancient machine i was hoping to use the case from its a compaq presario

It is for gaming at 1080p
not looking to spend much more than $500
i am in ontario
thanks in advance for any advice
