Hi all. I'm helping price up a PC for my mate. He wants a good, fast, PC for gaming, but he wants everything as cheap as possible.
For the motherboard, I've got a Gigabyte DS4 so I don't know anything about the Asus motherboards. I looked at them all, and the best one looked like the "Asus P5B-VM iG965, S775".
Its got everything he needs and yet it doesn't look like a cheap-o rubbishy one. But I just wanted to double check here. Is it ok? He is getting an E6600, and might overclock sometime (probably to about 3ghz or so). But he isn't a hardcore overclocker or anything, demanding 4ghz
p.s. Anyone with an Antec Nine Hundred case have anything bad to say about it? I had a hard time suggesting a case, but I suggested that Antec Nine Hundred. I use an Akasa Eclipse 62 but I'm not a big fan really... It comes without fans, so if you added a pair of fans to the price of this case... its basically £100 Thats expensive I think. Although it is fairly solid. I suggested it to my friend anyway, because I said cheap cases might not fit an 8800GTX, and might be cheap and plasticy and probably won't have good air flow.
