• $1200 CAD PC Build For a Friend
    7 replies, posted
Okay guys my friend is building a new PC and he has a $1200 CAD budget but he want's the tax and shipping to fall within that budget too (it's okay to go a bit over) He has his heart set on an i7 and 4890 but I told him that the Phenom II's are nearly the same in gaming performance. And the 4890's are a bit cheaper than the 275's. Thanks [editline]01:51PM[/editline] In the future he'd like to get a second or possibly a third 4890. So a 3 way Crossfire board would be nice.

Eew, 4890? Is he some kind of rabid ATI fanboy or something? [editline]05:37PM[/editline] What parts does he need?

Case, PSU, DVD RW, CPU, etc. [editline]06:18PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Pandamobile;16273376]He doesn't care either way. 4890's are cheaper in most cases. He needs everything.

Oh.
