Helping a friend on building a gaming rig only no other pc stuff... Budget around / less than 2.5k .. All the latest game, like all the recent games at max or ultra setting. he is not a over clocker so best put at the standard setting for the pc to simplify for him. Do include win 7/8
thx in advanced.

Erm what about me if u can see my rig... any recommendations on upgrading ? suddenly feel like splashing some components..

They some times have discount lah. But still quite high. TS can do some hunting for this 2 as Tradepac has nuts on Gaming Peripherals.
