slightly more, much better graphics and case, and room for a second graphics card if he is ever mad enough to get another one. :)

(although tbh you only need 8GB RAM as well as an i5 2500k)


EDIT: actually the one dabbleh posted was quite good, if not for the underpowered graphics
for the price, and it does not say whether the 20GB SSD was used as a caching drive or not.


NOTE: just to clarify, it IS built by the people you buy it from.

Were those parts belonging to a prebuilt system? I don't believe Mr. Vybez' friend wants to build it and instead wants something prebuilt.

Sarcastic, I don't understand how you can compare when building and pre-built are just a tiny bit different, like totally different categories?

.... the one i posted IS prebuilt. they build it for you, sorry for not being clear enough.
