I spec out a gaming PC for a friend. Base specs are:
Intel Core i3-540
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3L. It is an ATX board. I may install a USB 3 add-in card later on.
1 x Kingston DDR3-1333 2GB. I may uprade the RAM (buy a 4GB module) when it gets cheaper.
For graphics I think about getting this part:
PowerColor AX5770 1GBD5-H Radeon HD 5770 1GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131330
It's the cheapest where I live and is covered by 3 years of warranty. No compaints on Newegg, but as a SPCR forum member I've in the past seen complaints on this company that some of their cards do not have proper idle power savings or fan control.
Would this card be a safe buy?
