|  Building a computer (somewhat highend) Someone wanted me to put togethor a decent computer. And this is what I have. Please feel free to tell me to change something, but the price difference cant be extremly high Cpu Cooler CPU Motherboard Ram Hard Drive Power Supply Case DVD Burner The last thing is video card, he wants an 8600GT, but Im trying to tell him to get a 7900GS KO from Evga. Those are all the parts, he basically wants this to be a computer, that can handle a bunch of stuff, and play the ocasional game. |
