Hey guys,

I'm requesting a decent to mid level gaming rig for a buddy of mine who doesn't have one and would be hoping for a not too expensive build. He really like to play Battlefield 3 mostly because he's seen me play it on PC and he was determined to get one. I told him he doesn't have to enjoy the game on max settings gameplay makes the game not graphics (my opinion). He's wanting something as cheap but effective since he doesn't have much money so I told him i'll try to get him something.

So here it goes:


Approximate Purchase Date: The next few months

Budget Range: $600 Maybe more depending if BF3 (his main concern to play) needs more for a smooth medium settings gameplay.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Music, Internet surfin'

Parts Not Required: Monitor, Keyboard.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg

Country: United States

Parts Preferences: To be honest he doesn't care for he just wants to play BF3 on a cheap but effective parts. Maybe bang for their buck. But I'll throw some suggestions Intel CPUs, nVidia GPUs.

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Monitor Resolution: His I believe is 1024x768 monitor pretty small

Additional Comments: Nothing anything specific he's just anxious. I picked out some parts for him that will work unless you have something else...
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986
Case - Apex Mid Tower: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154095

It's all i got so far.

Thanks, guys.

PS: If I missed anything mention it so i can fix, I made this post on a late night :sleep:
