I have a friend who has a budget of $3000, and is looking to buy and build a new PC around January. Can some of you experts please advise me on what I should tell him to buy? He actually wants me to build it, so if you guys could just build a complete system and let me know the specs of it. Thanks to anyone that helps in advance I appreciate it!
 
It depends on what he wants to do with it.

If it's a gaming rig, just buy all the most expensive stuff you can find. ;)

2x Geforce 7800GTX's in SLI
2 GB RAM
An AMD X2 Processor
Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card
A few big HDD's.

$3,000 will get him just about the best of everything.


We really need to know exactly what he'll be using it for though.
 
Wow $3000 will pretty much buy the lot! If your friend isnt into gaming I'm not sure he'll need to spend that much money
 
Ah sorry I guess I should have mentioned yes he will be gaming. I thought it was a given :p

Anyone can someone be specific on what parts he should buy? Like what will work with what the best etc. Thanks!

and I could be his bitch boy for part of the money :)

Like gerforce said, you got options. GOt to newegg and look for at least SLI video cards, Dual core processors, hifi sound, s939 motherboard by ASUS, large fast HDs. YOu dont need raptors to be fast either. You can be fast with more storage space so consider that.
