I have helped my friend assemble a gaming machine. It's a beast and has been running for 3 months now. It has a AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard, Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 Memory, 580Gig Seagate HD, Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 3GB Video Card, Cooler Master HAF 922 ATX Mid Tower Case with a 23" Asus monitor. Only issue is that I'm jealous because it's his not mine! I'm free to come around his house though and play all the awesome games on full specs!
