Helping a buddy of mine build a computer but his budget is much lower than anything I've worked with before, Looking to get the best bang for your buck. Hes decided on using Ubuntu so an OS is not needed, along with a mouse and keyboard. Monitor is needed, no required resolution really, but nothing too low. OC and SLI is not important, mainly using it for a couple games and daily activities (TF2, and wants to play BF3 on Low settings). Thanks in advance for any help.
*****I've been looking around for pre-builts and couldn't find anything really to an acceptable level for his budget, But if you know of a good pre-built please share!
Approximate Purchase Date: This Week
Budget Range: $450
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming is the main priority for him.
Parts Not Required: OS, Mouse, Keyboard
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference, whatever I can get the best deal on, can split from multiple websites
Country: U.S.
Parts Preferences: Intel or AMD build, either or is fine
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024
Thanks again for any help, greatly appricated.
