My Friend is a AMD Fanboy and wants to upgrade, at the moment he has a Athlon XP 2100+, He wants to get as High as he can, but won't switch to Intel, and Won't overclock.
All he plays is GTA, The Sims, Counter Strike and Battlefield 2
His Budget is AU$1000
What I think would be good
AMD Athlon64 6000+
Any ASUS motherboard
Any RAM (Not really sure)
Some x800's in Crossfire or 7600GT's in SLI
A good Sound Card (He plays Guitar and will want to record what he plays)
He has a Case, its a Midi (Normal ATX) Size.
Anything else you guys Recommend!
He would also like to run Vista at a Later Date.
