Hi guys! I got a friend who really wants to build a gaming computer on a budget of $600-700. We're going reuse his case, dvd player, and hard drive. We want to reuse his PSU http://www.power-on.com/atx12vg300bt.html if possible to save cash and allow him to purchase better other parts. He also wants to hook his computer up to his HDMI TV, so an HDMI GPU is a must.
We need: CPU, Mother Board, Ram, and an HDMI GPU. (And a PSU *if* the current one would mess up the build)
1) What is your budget?
$600-700
2) Are there any brands/resellers that you prefer or any you really don't like?
Nope
3) What tasks will you be performing with the Desktop?
Gaming and surfing.
4) Will you be playing games on it; if so, which games?
Shogun total war 2, Civ 5, WoW, The Old Republic (on release), Battlefield 3 (on release)
5) Do you mind buying parts online without seeing them in person?
Online is fine
6) What OS do you prefer? Windows (XP or Vista), Mac OS X, Linux, etc.
Windows 7
7) How much hard drive space is needed?
Not necessary - we're reusing his old harddrive, and when he decides its time for a new one, we'll pick one up.
8) What size desktop would you like?(All in one, compact, large)
We're reusing his ATX
9) Does the case need to be stylish?
We're reusing his ATX
10) What resolution will the screen run at? One or Two screens?
I really don't know, he wants to plug the computer into an HDTV.
11) Do you need any particular hardware?(Ports, HDD slots, double DVD drives, etc.)
Must have an HDMI GPU that plugs into a HD tv
12) How would you rate your technical skills?
8
13) Have you ever built a desktop before?
A few, I seem to average 1 per year.
14) Do you need wireless connectivity?
Yes
15) When are you going to be building this?
Next Week
16) Have you considered a pre-built desktop? Or even a notebook?
Pass.
17) Are you going to overclock?
Apparently the budget is too tight for overclocking.
Other
Once again: HDMI GPU mandatory - he really wants to connect it to an HD tv of his. Also, hes got a PSUhttp://www.power-on.com/atx12vg300bt.html we want to reuse if it'll lead to a better computer given the $600-700 budget.
Thank you so much for your time guys =) We really appreciate it!
