My best friend requested I help her build a gaming rig for her and I was wondering if anyone had any pointers on where to look for the best deal.

-The budget is $900 and it needs to be able to run Fallout 3 on the highest graphics setting
-Have a blu-ray disk drive
-6GB of RAM
-512-1TB hard disk memory

Any assistance people can give would be most helpful ^^

This should probably go in the Computers/Technology section. But do they need a monitor and OS included in the build? If so, that will put it over $900 with the other required specs.

Edit: With no OS, this fills the listed requirements -

- COOLER MASTER Elite RC-310-BWN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
- Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Ah, yes you are right it should have gone here. Sometimes I forget this section of Jul even exists. I am so used to posting in General that everything else kind of gets forgotten. ^^;

Thanks for the leads though Orlandu ^^
