So im getting someone to build me a Gaming PC and he said this is what he could get me for £700: Coolermaster Elite 430 Gaming Case AMD FX 6100 6 CORE 3.3 GHZ PROCESSOR 8GB 1600MHZ CORSAIR GAMING RAM ASUS USB3 SATA 3 HIGH PRO MOTHERBOARD HD 7770 GRAPHICS CARD FULL HD ADVANCED COOLING THROUGHOUT THE CASE BLU RAY DRIVE 1TB HARD DRIVE WINDOWS 7 PRO 500W OCZ PERFORMANCE POWER SUPPLY MICROSOFT KEYBOARD AND MOUSE LOGITECH PERFORMANCE SPEAKER SET 2.1 22.5 INCH FULL HD LG GAMING MONITOR Now im wondering if this is a good deal or not. Thanks
Should be ok if u need all that stuff at once, but seriously 22,5 inch lg??? U should check prices of all that stuff. Whats funny is that everything is for gaming hehe the case for example is just a cheap ass one and there is no gaming ram from corsair as far as i know. The vengeance series might fall into that category but they just have bigger heatspreaders to keep them cool... The graphics card is just the best low end gaming card amd has to offer and there are as always good and bad cards. Its best to tell him u need to know exactly what parts he will use.

i am asking myself right now: is it blu or blue ray LOL hahahahahaha i don't see the point in optical drives anymore. every tv can do usb, every computer etc. so why bother with discs... ;D you can use your blue blu oh wtf rays with your next gen console
