I'm building a pc for a friend, and need help choosing components that fit into his budget.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 2 weeks
BUDGET RANGE: $1000 after rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: General gaming, upcoming first person shooters and RTS games.. modern warfare 2, starcraft 2
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Need everything, so make sure the budget fits a cheap mouse and keyboard
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com
PARTS PREFERENCES: Whatever gets the most bang for his buck, and however much upgradeability he can afford.. prefer mid tower case, around 20" monitor
OVERCLOCKING: Probably not
CROSSFIRE: Probably not, but if a crossfire/sli mobo and psu fits in the budget maybe.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Would prefer either 1080 or 1050
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Just want the best gaming pc that he can get for the money, can windows 7 be installed fresh from the student upgrade?
