  1. Yeah, but he really has no use for a 6 core CPU as only very few games utilize all 6 cores. Your build it very solid too but I would throw in a SSD into your build. A kingston 120GB for 50. (I dunno how to do the symbol :) But i would invest in a better cpu cooler as the FX series can get pretty hot and if he wants he has the option to O.C.
  2. Okay added both windows 7 and a 1080p monitor. The monitor isnt the best but it'll suffice. Had to drop the CPU and mobo to a new intel pentium chip. Its only a dual core but since you have an after market CPU cooler you can OC it up to 4Ghz (Higher if you liquid cool such as a H100i) Also threw in a SSD for wayyyy faster boot times and overall OS speed so make sure to install windows 7 on the SSD, not the HDD. Total cost comes to £660 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/davelaric/saved/TJsnTW Feel free to ask if you have any questions :)
  3. Okay, yes you can get windows 7 but I would *cough* be a pirate *cough because it is so expensive. I'll have to drop somethings so it fits into your budget. Max is £600.00 correct?
  4. Here is the link build. If you can, i would highly recommend throwing in some extra money and pick up a 120GB SSD. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/davelaric/saved/TJsnTW Wasn't sure if you needed any peripherals/OS/Monitor so didnt include them. If you want em, tell me and ill re-do the build for your budget. P.S if the prices are not in the right currency, go to the top right corner and select United Kingdom.
  5. The graphic card is a part in your computer that control and enhance how graphics (pictures, videos, programs, animation, 3D) are displayed on your computer screen. Video explaining what a graphic card is (GPU): How to install a new graphic card:
  6. I think your problem is a thing called TDR checker monitors the computers hardware, particularly the GPU, is say the GPU stops responding with the computer for 2 seconds TDR checker restarts the driver. The TDR checker was good on paper but did not work in the real world. as a graphic card can stop responding when it is working hard. Issue since the time of vista. Solution: Exit all Windows based programs. Click Start, type regedit in the Search box, and then double-click regedit.exe from the results above. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Browse to and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet002 (sometimes called ControlSet001) ControlGraphicsDrivers On the Edit menu, click New, and then select the following registry value from the drop-down menu specific to your version of Windows (32 bit, or 64 bit): For 32 bit Windows Select DWORD (32-bit) value. Type TdrDelay as the Name and click Enter. Double-click TdrDelay and add 8 for the Value data and click OK. For 64 bit Windows Select QWORD (64-bit) value. Type TdrDelay as the Name and click Enter. Double-click TdrDelay and add 8 for the Value data and clickOK. Close the registry editor and then restart your computer for the changes to take affect. This puts a delay on the tdr checker of 8 seconds thus the gpu can stop responding for 10 seconds, usually this fixes the problem, if you are still suffering from this issue (after updates or a reinstall of drivers, you know all that annoying driver stuff) Then do this, do the same thing but instead of "TdrDelay" type "TdrLevel" enter the data value as 0 (it is set to that natively, but double check) then delete the TdrDelay, Restart That completely turns off Tdr checker, so now windows 7/vista/8 now works more like windows XP Hope it works :)
  7. That video will cover everything you need to know when building your first computer. I'll quickly make together a build for you on pcpartpicker.
  8. Open the control panel, keys are U,I, and O.
  9. Agreed. Some people get a Titan when you can pick up a 780 Ti for a lot cheaper and just overclock it a bit and performance is on par.
  10. The 770 is 350 plus, if you can afford it by all means get the 770. Great card.
  11. If you were to upgrade the graphic card, pick up a 750 Ti SC if you are on a budget or if you can fork over a little more grab a 760.
  12. Its AIGE's but I use this one because it includes Icelaglace's metallic reflection, HD dirt textures and a bunch of other stuff: http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/updated-gta-v-vehshare-f28459 (Combines a lot of different mods together, looks very nice IMO) If you want only the HD Dirt texture: http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/hd-dirt-texture-10-f20172

    Pictures by me :D
  14. Just watch em come out with 128/256/512GB RAM sticks tomorrow for 50 bucks :O
  15. Its okay, CPU is average. I would buy a separate GPU because both of the ones they listed are pretty bad. For 140 bucks pick up the EVGA GTX 750Ti SC 2GB @ Amazon (Link below) Also for RAM 4GB is more then sufficient for gaming but if he goes into video rendering/editing or Photoshop, then it would be better to go for 8GB. No need for 16GB as its pretty useless unless you dont wanna buy RAM for the next 10 years :P EVGA GTX 750Ti SC: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO Other then the graphic card, you should be good.
  16. You getting a CPU Cooler? You should and over clock that FX :D
