Ok so my friend wants to build a computer.

He wants it to be an $800 build. This is just the tower with no OS or any other peripherals. Brand loyalty is unimportant, just best bang for the buck. He wants to build it so please don't suggest building websites. Just parts please!

Thanks for the advice!

He wants to build it, and it's cheaper and of higher quality parts to build it yourself.

true but i just posted an image for ya down below take a look at it and build one yourself. unless you want to buy parts separate from newegg
 
i've almost got his beast done, do you know if he can go any higher cuz there is a combo with the 970 and a gtx570 and with it it's just a little too high, but it would be worth it, no prob maxing anything at all.
 
Could you post the combo and the alternate that's within budget? I'll have him look at it.
 
 
i'm just gunna post the entire build then at the bottom the alternatives

--------------------------------------------------------- (makes it 810 and can still max most games but will be pushing it a little, the other will last a lot longer)
 
and yours wouldn't be able to do dual gfx cards later on, the mobo only has 1 lane and the psu can't put out near enough power.
 
I'd like to say that he's set on the case. It's 50 dollars so just 750 without a case would be good too.

Thanks jonny! I'll have him look at those.
 
that is a nice case though (his pick) but might want to show him that one, lian li's are supposed to be the highest quality one and that one looks pretty nice too. also if he likes that one he should love the other one on the alternative picks part, i love that one too and everyone has to, it's sick.
