Hey guys, I was just informed that my best friend who has been in my life for 8 years may not have that long to live. His mother approached me recently asking if I could build him a gaming computer for his 16th birthday. This kid is into gaming, it is really all he can do since he is in a bed all day under close supervision. I really want to help this kid out and give him something he can remember. Please guys all I am asking for is 5 minutes of your time.
His mother told me she can only afford to spend around $2,500.00. I want to give him something that will be capable of DX10 gaming. He knows all about DX10 and was recently telling me he wishes he could play new games when they come out so he's going to love this
What I was thinking was:
cpu: x6800
mobo: P5WDH or Striker
ram: gskill or teamgroup
psu: silverstone st60f
gpu: g8800 (is it worth waiting for ATI?)
He's a big fan of tweaking so keep OC'ing in mind.
Thank you guys I really appreciate your help.
