Yikes, that's barely readable now... And could have been done as a 1kb text file anyway. But I digress.

Although hardly an expert in gaming systems myself, two red flags stood out:
1) use of an i3 CPU (pick an i5 instead, i3 will suck for many games - downgrade the video card if necessary to make budget fit)
2) deliberately choosing a motherboard and a video card from direct competitors (suggest getting them from the same mfgr to avoid conflicting "optimizer" utilities)

Other thoughts:
- the PSU can probably be whatever generic crap NewEgg sells this week without making much difference

That's all for now,

Well, I decided not to ask this at the round table yesterday as it would
have taken too much time and have lots of possible options ...

a friend has a friend who has a 14 year old teenager looking at
building a gaming machine .. he put together some info and this friend
is looking for some feedback

I've attached a pdf of what they were looking at as options - not sure
where the pricing was scraped from -- but with guys on-line who are in
the business would have a better idea ...

What's your guys takes on this?  I'm not into gaming machine
configurations ...

Dan.
