A friend asked me to build him a decent gaming rig on a budget. I haven't upgraded in a while due to monetary constraints so I'm a bit behind the times. Just wanted some expert opinions on my hardware choices. Thus far I have:
Antec 902 Case
Asus p7p55D-E Mobo
Intel i5 3.33GHz (Clarkdale)
Corsair 4GB 1600MHz 9-9-9-24
Point of View GeForce GTX260 816MB
Hitachi 1TB 32MB Cache 7200rpm
Throw in a keyboard and mouse, plus a sound card, and it comes to about £750. Max budget is 800.
What do you guys think about that machine? It'll perform pretty well for a while right? Good balance? Graphics card powerful enough? Any opinions on the cases (I've read good things about it)?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated
