hey all,
it's been a while since i've been on here/researching/etc...well i used this place for building my 1st computer (which was successful & turned out fantastic! thanks for all the help and support!), now since i've been out for quite some months now i'm trying to play some catch-up with all the new hardware and reviews and all that good stuff.
my buddy wants to spend $2,000 (roughly) on a new PC that i gotta build for him (should be fun)... he wants it for gaming and here's what he wants:
- Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty for best sound for gaming
- DDR2 memory
- $500 max CPU
- $400 max Video card that's PCI Xpress
- possibly liquid cooling (so the parts, or just a prebuilt case or something...)
i know i'm supposed to do my own research, i just figured some of you guys would be willing to throw out some ideas (keep in mind i will do my extensive reserach through THG/HardFmz/Anandtech/etc)... thanks in advance all and take care, good luck with all your builds and shit!
