Hi need recommendation for an i3 build for my friend,
budget of 300$, place to order, newegg or tiger direct.
SLI/Xfire=yes(but not now. but if some other way people manage to make one up with dual gpu them it's ok)
overclocking=no
Country to where they will send the package: US
important stuff: Gaming games like Battlefield 3, skyrim, metro 2033, starwars, scII, dirt 3, GT, GTA........microsoft office,auto cad, light video/music editing
(plays at medium or high settings)
he prefers brand new
parts he already have: 1920x1080 monitor, MSi Z68A-GD80 (G3) Mobo, Cosmos II case, Corsair AX1200 PSU, Razer mouse/mouse pad/keyboard, USP (already bought)
and yes i know, why buy such a high end case and some high end mobo and an uber Corsair AX1200 and then use i3, well he already bought them when he fell in love with the case and mobo and the other parts and pampers it right now, and then later on looks at his wallet and it all went down to 300$ budget, (this is before rebate and including other charges) and find it funny he shopped around already and missed some lol)
he said he wanted a xfx 7970 dual fans but i told him he'd be out of budget by just that and an i5 so i recommend him an i3, since he won't be getting any budget increase for the next 3 months and he wants to build it in 1-2 weeks.
couldn't help as i can't think of anything that he can buy for 300$ besides ram and proc, but maybe you guys can. of course if by some how by anyway any of you manage to pull one off using an i5 SB then it would be nice.
