I would like Christmas gift suggestions for expansion to my son’s gaming pc. I believe that he primarily plays games like World of Warcraft and Starcraft. What would you suggest as supplements to the pc that was custom made? If we are looking to spend $100-200, what would be the nicest upgrade for him at this time, a second graphics board, additional memory, speakers, or some other suggestion?
He built his own pc this summer and these are the components that he used:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 445 Rana 3.1GHz
Case: Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Power Supply: APEX AL-D500EXP 500W
DVD: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO
Graphics: XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM SATA
Monitor: LG Flatron W2053TX
Speakers and Mic: Sennheiser Gaming Headset
We would like this to be a surprise which is why we are not asking him directly. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
