I am looking to build a gaming rig for a friend and will be collecting my own recommendation, but would also like to gather others opinions and criticisms. that is out the door no more than 800 (with OS, NO monitor, speakers, mouse or keyboard) I definitely want to go 64 bit to allow for more RAM now and in the future, so I have at least decided to go with Vista Home Premium (which I can get for 99.99). Audio is not of great concern, so I will be assuming the onboard audio is sufficient, and I will also presume the onboard NIC will work as well. I would like to go with an intel board and core 2 duo processor (unless someone can tell why why i should consider otherwise) although I am looking at both ATI and Nvidia for video card. SLI and Crossfire aren't a big concern, just one good video card is all I believe will be needed. As for the case, nothing flashy is needed, just a descent looking one with a quality PSU. The primary use for the computer wil likely be WOW and Strarcraft 2. I will also post my findings for criticism, but anyones suggestions are appreciated. If I left any needed information out please let me know, and if you have read this far, thank you for your time.
