100 dollar power supply :ouch: can we use a cheaper one but corsair is must :D
 


He didn't specify very important details resolution namely being one of the more important details. 1080p 1200p 1440p Buying a 780 for a 1080p screen may be a waste depending on what you plays so what he includes with more then I want a gaming pc for 1500 would be more helpful

Your right, but give him the best you got.he is not but your the expert here you don't need to ask these things.satisfy him .he is a new bee.
in a old post he asked me why i'm giving him 3 monitors in a build when one monitor is needed and he was spending 4000$ on a rig for gaming. resolution and all that he really don't know.
