Hey guys, my friend wants a new build for a computer he has about 1200$ and he already has a monitor keyboard mouse. I am assuming he needs windows 7 64. Can someone post a build please from newegg? Thanks.

It is a very good build, You can change a few things to your liking if you want. it should work out at a similar price. Obviously you will be getting them off newegg instead
Is this a good build and will everything work? [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/vsm9nb.png[/IMG] [editline]10th July 2011[/editline] Can someone explain here why my friend should not get the lowest level i7 and stick the the i5 2500k? He is insisting on the i7.
Because the i5 2500k houses newer architecture and generally better performance. Also for the love of fuck don't get a RoseWill PSU.
You don't need 8gb RAM, get 4 instead.
DON'T get a Rosewill case or PSU, they'll last about a week. Also get only 4gb RAM.
