Hi guys,
Trying to build a PC for a friend with a budget of R10000 which is proving to be a little difficult. Must be able to play latest games on high settings. Thinking more an AMD setup (price/performance ratio) with a 22inch monitor. Do not need keyboard and mouse.
Anything in mind?
 
Hey Psyndrome, contact @The Joker, he will be able to help you out :) He's pretty much the resident build guru on My Gaming :)

You might be able to fit a smaller PSU and cut back on a Harddrive to easily fit the price.

Cut back on the PSU, the 2TB and the MTB and put a better CPU and GPU in...I suppose that's what The Joker did :p

Actually I changed the ram to faster ram, I changed the case and psu for high quality but budget orientated parts.
Upped the cpu to a 8 core, put in a faster gpu, changed the hdd to 500GB. ;)
 
Still think it's not a bad machine i just thought of going bigger power if he decided to go cf/sli later and the bigger hard drive for space reasons and the other one for an OS drive.

But only tried to give a rough look at what he can look at :(

Nothing wrong with your pick bud, Just a bit to over budget but still decent.

He could opt for cheaper ram unless he's going to overclock, the board only goes up to 2133*(OC), although at that price I dont think you going to do much better to be honest unless you go for standard desktop ram
