So my friend wants too know if you can come up with a list of computer parts for a custom build. He said his brother knows how to build computers, but he doesn't know what parts to get so can you come up with a list? His budget is 1k. |

The fastest computers are are intel's Core I7, but for me to price one out, would of bumped up the cost to $1200. So instead I spec-ed out a high end AMD quad system (their fastest chip). Here is a quick one I threw together, the total was $920 before shipping. Quad Phenom II 3.4ghz, 4gb ram, fast 640gb hard drive, dvd burner, etc. The motherboard will hold 2 video cards, so you can buy a 2nd card and run them in crossfire/sli in the future. The video card I put in there is not exactly really powerful, but will get the job done, if he can afford another $150, I would say wait until next month and get a GTX470 when it comes out, or just upgrade the card in the future. This board will also accept AMD's 6 core processors when they come out later this year. Case: Coolermaster HAF, flashier http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811119160 Or Antec P183, more function (easier to build and upgrade) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811129061 And the rest of the parts: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103727 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822136218 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131402 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814131327 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817139005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231277 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827135204 |

Well how powerful is the card? Because this is going to be a gaming rig, but I'll tell him thanks. |

The card sits between a GTS250 and a GTX260 in power, but is newer and more power efficient. I will play most games out and close to full or full settings. |
