Approximate Purchase Date: early January, perhaps later
Budget Range: $300-$350
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, recording music
Parts Not Required: Case, Power supply (he has a very strong power supply, not sure what it is, but I'm quite certin it's a solid brand), HDD, Graphics card dvd drive, keyboard, monitor, mouse (not sure about the os)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg preferred, but Canadadirect is good too
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences:meh
Overclocking: Probably not
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: less than 1080p, I think
Additional Comments: Helping my friend finish building a computer. He's buying my GTX 560 (non ti version), and a 1tb HDD from me as well. He wants to sped about $500, so I think I wouldn't go any lower than $150 for those 2 items, but I'd prefer more, obviously. So that's $350-$300, including taxes and shipping to Nova Scotia (south eastern coast of Canada).
Chances are, he'll go for an AMD processor. Now, I'm not too familiar with recording music, but would a six core processor perfor muchbetter than a 4 core for that? I know the frequency is important for gaming, ut I'm not sure which one will outweight the other. RAM, not a big deal, 4 or 8 gigs of watever, the Mobo doesn't have to be fancy, but I'm sure UEFI would be a plus.
