In lue of Diablo III (hopefully) coming out this fall, my friend is looking to build his own computer for about $700.
Approximate Purchase Date: 1 to 2 weeks
Budget Range: $800 hard cap. Cannot go over (shipping included) But the closer to $700 the better.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (Diablo III, SCII (maybe), does not need to MAX out Battlefield 3 either), multitasking (streaming music, word processing, surfing the web)
Parts Not Required: Mouse and Keyboard, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: XFX Graphics card preferred
Overclocking: Not right now and probably little to none in the future
SLI or Crossfire: Possibly, but not any time soon
Monitor Resolution: Looking for a monitor at 1920 x1080
Additional Comments: Need a monitor included in the build, as listed below. He will be purchasing W7 Ultimate x64 from school for $100. That price is left out of this build.
Let me know if these specs are good and any advice / tweeks would be appreciated.
Thermaltake V6 BlacX Edition Gaming Chassis Mid Tower - $61.99
AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core - $104.99
MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - $69.99
CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W - $69.99
Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM - $60.99
XFX HD-679X-ZNFC Radeon HD 6790 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 - $139.99
G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) - $64.99
SONY Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive - $16.99
ASUS VH232H Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor - $159.99
Total: $749.91
Again let me know if this looks good or if I should make any changes for my friend.
Like usual, many thanks in advance.
