Hey guys helping a mate build his first PC wants something to play BF3 on and other various games.
Anyway this is what i came up with for him, any suggestions changes? Not too fussed about the price.

wait i just realised i got 2 motherboards in there lol
ignore the gigabyte mobo

You have 2 motherboards there?

EDIT: Damn you beat me.

2 motherboards.
No ram
why waste money on blue ray when its not mainstream yet, just stream to your tv HD straight from your pc.
especially when im pre sure thats just a reader.

why are you using 1366 sockets
antec psu..
antec 900's are terrible.
its all terrible..

whats your budget


only thing i like is that 560ti top card.

Thats what i did whoops, i put 2 mobos and no ram thats where i ****ed it up haha.

The blue ray drive is $80 no biggie.

No idea lol
Didnt ask for critisism, i asked for suggestions. Also if you read i said not too fussed about the price.
But probs something around the price thats there now, under 2k

i woulda given you suggestions if you searched first

so what i just type in the search bar, "is this a good pc for my friend, what are your suggestions?"

no search same thing like " pc build help " or something... over 9000 pc help build threads out there

or just look in the pc section and look at the builds posted for people by

Relapse,karma,ska,myself,lantern

really not overly hard

Much easier for you to just give me advice on what to change.

Intel Core i5 2500K $225.00
OC to 4.5+ ghz
AYWAN RADI V10 $39
Great cheap cooler
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB HD103S $54.00
Great HDD for price
ASUS P8Z68-V Motherboard B3 $199.00
I reccomend this mobo for every budget
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD $359.00
best bang for buck card. More than enough gpu powah
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 $69.00
Good ram, doesnt clock much past stock speeds. That really doesnt matter to you
Silverstone Raven RV03 with Window $159.00
love this case
Corsair Force Series 60GB SSD$119.00
SSD enough said
Silverstone Strider 850W Gold ST85F-G $209.00
Enough room for future sli
ASUS DRW-24B3ST 24X DVDRW Drive $25.00
they are all the same

ASUS Xonar Essence ST $195.00
Tell your mate to get some good headphones to go with this
I'd suggest Audiotechnica ATH-A700's
A.C.Ryan Playon!HD2 Network Media Player $152.00
if ur mate wants to watch hd movies on his tv

$1804

Change what you want around to budget, I did this build for another thread, just smack in a bigger graphics card or 2 and yay for gaming !! Also minus the cost of what you dont need in there etc

Pretty much it is a good base to start around

This is good.
Personally I prefer the ATH-AD700s and I wouldn't get a network media player.

rest I agree on

i doubt he is going to build a media center..
By the look of the blue ray he might want to watch hd movies on a tv.

The media player is just easy.
iv used this one a few times and had no problems

Thanks for that, thats all i was after.
Anyway he lives in brissy and was gonig to order off PCCG and get his local shop to build it for him etc. They quoted him $200 an hour for assembly and they reckon it would take them 5 hours so 1k for assembly he said **** it. But he just went down the shops to pick up this build or something.
HD 6960 2gb GFX card
and an i3 cpu. i tried to convince him to go i7 but the guy convinced him he doesnt need it.
anyways hes getting a decent cpu that the guy has himself and hes building him one (or has one ready to go) and he said it will run BF3 perfectly full settings etc doing him a deal for $1600 all installed virus protection, 7.1 headset, windows 7 etc.
but yeah dunno if he made the right choice but tbh its better doing it that way for him cause he has no idea how to build it and hes not gonna pay a grand for assembly.
