Hello all this is Moose and my friend recently told me that he wanted to get a computer. I asked him what he would be using it for and he said gaming. The build cannot go over $650 and has to include a monitor, os, keyboard, and mouse. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Moose
Found this post and jumped on Newegg to see what I could do.

I thought this would work out pretty well. With shipping it comes out to $651. Included a good 1080p monitor, plus one of my favorite mice. I didn't include an OS because you can just torrent W7 Ultimate 64-bit. My friend runs almost an identical system and plays everything just fine.
we at tek syndicate do not promote pirating, above that some people don't have reliable or good internet, try downloading a 3+GB file when you're capped 200MB a month and a ping of 2s or 2000ms pretty hard to send a coninuous file of that size reliably when you're beaming it up to space and back or over 3G
^ Beware of link in mynam3isnathan post. This leads to a screenshot taken from some software. I tried to click on one of the items on the list, thinking it was PC partpicker, and it force downloaded an executable. Of course.
following ALL of the reqeusts this is about as good as you can get
^ I have seen these 1600x900 monitors going very cheap, at times. In fact, you might be able to snag one for under $75. In which case, you can probably upgrade to a 660 or 7870. I am a fan of Nvidia cards but I just bought my brother a 7870 and that thing destroys games at 1600x900 (just happened to be the resolution he is running until he can get a 1080p monitor)
yeah at higher levels its a different game but the 650 has the same performance as a 7750 and the 650ti has the same performance as a 7770, above that is a different story, if he can save even a littlbe bit more I suggest getting a 650 TI or 7770 which ever you can find the cheapest, any more than that a 7850 or even a 7870 would be great, above a 7870 you'd need a better monitor
remember you can always crank up the AA quantity and Quality if you run out of resolution
That's a good point, I hadn't considered that. But, that being said, I would gladly donate a genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Key to this person. I'm obviously a filthy pirate when it comes to OS's but, I do have a genuine code that I would gladly give. I had to buy an OEM copy of 7 awhile back and never used it.
I appreciate what you said and I'm glad you did so I can keep it in mind for when I post in the future.
Thanks Gigabuster.
The application used is Gyazo in case you're curious, I wasn't aware that you had to download anything to view it? My friends and I constantly use it to share what we're looking at etc. So i'm used to using it, I'll post it another way though.
Sorry for the scare :D
