A friend of mine recently decided it was time for a new PC. I told him to try to build his own as a method to both save money and have more control over what he wants/needs in his PC.
He told me he wants a pretty fast/modern computer, with a 3GHz+ processor, preferably by Intel(but if AMD is faster/cheaper, that would be better I guess), and everything else pretty up to date. Here are his current Gateway PC specs:
2.4GHz Pentium 4
768MB DDR
64MB GeForce MX440
Sound Blaster Audigy LS
2x80+GB HD's
So I guess a modest upgrade would be nice. He's trying not to pry apart his old PC except maybe for some things(1 hard drive) because he may give it to his little brother or something, or use it as a 2nd machine. So I guess this would call for a new CPU, mobo, case, etc.
Hope you guys can help him out with building a kick ass PC for a great price, Thanks!
