Hey guys,

 

Mu buddy is looking into getting into gaming and has around $800 to spend on it. I know there are very smart people on this fourm, what would be the best way to spend his $800?

 

Thanks for you help everyone :)

is he going to be overclocking at all? And good thing he has the monitor and OS. That runs so much into budget.
