A mate of mine is looking to build his own PC.
He's not too knowledgeable on parts, and neither am I, so I need your help choosing a build Smile

Price range: Max of $1500 AUD
Shop: Most parts will be purchased from MSY. [Parts List]

Usage:
He is planning on using his computer for games such as World of Warcraft, Team Fortress 2, CoD: Modern Warefare 2 although he would like to be able to play Crysis and other high end games.
He is also planning on using it for programs such as Photoshop CS4 and such.

Ther operating system will initially be Windows XP, although he will most likely upgrade to W7.

Parts:
Code:
CPU:
Motherboard:
RAM: 4GB, choose type suitable for mobo.
GPU:
Optical Drive:
HDD: Seagate SATA 550gb - $59
PSU:
Case:


Any other questions can be posted here and I will forward them onto him.

If he is interested in playing high end games he should either get vista or WIN7 for DX10

You can do a 'custom upgrade' or something, where it upgrades to W7 and then all your XP files get moved to a place called windows.old. when its done upgrading you can just move all the files back out if you want.

reformat then install=clean install, not upgrade.

What your doing is a in-place upgrade or repair install, this give the user a new OS and while all of the stuffs are moved to the ".old" folder, you will still need to install every program.

This does not count as a upgrade.

Dont worry about the OS, if someone could throw some ideas around that would be great.

Price in AUD
CPU: Intel Core i5 750---------------------------$243
Motherboard: Asus P7P55-LX--------------------$136
RAM: G.Skill RipJaw 4GB (kit) DDR3 1600-----$131
GPU: HIS HD5770--------------------------------$189
Optical Drive: Sony DVD-RW SATA-------------$39
HDD: WD 808G-----------------------------------$75
PSU: Seasonic 700w------------------------------$177
Case:CM HAF932----------------------------------$206

$1196

The HAF932 is a full tower case, you place this on the floor.
For placing it on the desk, it's the HAF 922.

CM HAF922----$165
If your going with the HAF922 then the total will be $1155

Keyboard, mouse, monitor are not included.
Add a monitor?

Samsung 2333SW+------$195

HAF932 w/monitor=$1391
HAF922 w/monitor=$1350

For keyboard and mouse, just get something cheap.
And that HD size is incorrect, it's most likely a 500GB since 808G don't exist.
