New computer build
hey guys, my friend told me that he is going to build a computer over the summer, and asked me for some advice on what to get, etc. He told me he's gonna already have the case (a HP workstation that looks like http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en...ns/workstation)
and he's going to have his own monitor and PSU. His budget is from $1300-1600 with some extra if he really needs to go over. Could you guys help set something up for my friend? THANKS A BUNCH! (Oh by the way, it's for gaming)

thanks for the info, but is 4 gb really necessary? I heard that the most ram a 32 bit system can run is 2 gb ram not 4? So i'd have to get a 64 bit CPU which i heard isn't necessary?

The OS is generally what is NOT 64 bit and restricts memory. As far as I know, all modern processors are 64 bit.
