Hello community :D ,

I haven't been to these forums in a long time, the last was when i needed advice for my Gaming build at roughly 980 and can run any game on the maximum settings :D.
Let's get down to business though, my friend wants a gaming computer that can run Diablo 3 and many newer games at high settings without any FPS drops. His current budget is at 900$ at the maximum, but if he can he wants to go lower. So far I haven't done any research on what to get him because i've been too busy with other activities, but if you guys can help me out it'll be greatly appreciated :)

Approximate Purchase Date: 4-6 months

Budget Range: 700-900 Before rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing the internet, watching videos.

Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse,

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg

Country: U.S.A

Parts Preferences: Asus MOBO, Asus GFX,

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Monitor Resolution: He prefers 1920x1080

Additional Comments: He just wants a pc that can run Diablo 3 and any newer games coming out soon at high resolution without a huge FPS drop. (in 1920x1080 of course)
