Friend asked me to price up a home built system for him, been a fair few years since I built one so im a bit rusty.
Basically he's looking for a gaming machine, he was looking at ebay specials, but I warned him off them as they are typically made from cheap components that fail (IMO)
Heres what I came up with:
Anything that you would change?
Also, the CPU does come with a heatsink and fan aye? I honestly cant mind if it does or not, I bought a fancy one for my last buid

IIRC when i bought mine a few years back (Retail boxed) it came with a heat sink and small crappy fan. I ditched the fan for a bigger quieter one.

Seems a fair amount for an Intel Q setup, could get an i3 for less.

Wasn't sure what the latest processors were, skt775 pentium 4 was the best about when I did mine! Changed to an i3 setup, different mobo and a few more changes.
