Hi all...I am very new here and also new to building computers but I am going to get my feet wet in order to help the brother of a close friend of my.
Last month one of my best friends took his own life over something very stupid. He was only 17 years old and had just graduated from high school. Never did drugs and was always kind to others. A great hockey player with a huge future ahead of him.
We both planned on building together a couple of high end gaming rigs but because of cash we could only order a few things at a time and set them aside until we could get more money. Not easy getting funds when you are a student.
He had already bought a HAF X full case and also a "sparkle" 1250w power supply. we didn't dare buy the cpu or mother board first because by the time we had money for the complete system they would have most likely been out dated.
Anyhow, he left behind a slightly older brother and I thought it would be a great idea for us to set out and finish what Josh had started. He was very excited about making a system with me before he died and this has not been a easy thing for me to handle as well as not very easy to even look at his case and PS. I just want to do this and give it to his brother so he has something that Josh was hands on with in the start.
Can you guys please help me with ideas of items such as a fast processor, mother board, memory etc that would make for a great gaming comp for this case?
I am clueless where to run with all of this. Thanks so much for any and all your help.
BTW this was my friend... http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=92861086
