Thread: Trying to build a PC for a friend

Sharp looking system! Some suggestions:

Step him up to his monitor:
<a href=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001096>SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22" 2 ms </a>

This Video card is cheaper:
<a href=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150171>XFX PVT80GGHF4 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB</a>
Have him use the ntune software to crank it up the 50mhz if you think its necessary.

That motherboard seems like more than a normal user would need. Is this machine going to be overclocked? If not find a mb under 150.

No need to get the Fatal1ty level XFI card. The basic gamerxtreme card is enough and is 1/2 the price.

I might consider this monitor, its a little cheaper but with a 2ms response time and its widescreen

I agree with both Deus&#39;s suggestions. Think about the 640 gts upgrade (save the money on the cheaper XFI card) and with the recommendation of the corsair PS.

Help me out and use the html to make it easier to check out:

Code:

<a href=http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817371010> Antec NeoPower 650</a>

Comes out like:
href=http://www.newegg.com/product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817371010> Antec NeoPower 650</a>

Close, probably forgot a carrot somewhere.

Another simpler example.

Code:

<a href=goggle.com>Google</a>

remove google.com and google from the above and thats what you need to type carrots slashes a and all.
