I'm constructing a rig for a friend and he is looking to spend $500. The screenshot below is what I have so far. I'm unsure of what graphics card would be appropriate, he will do light gaming here and there. He wants to be able to run a RTS game by the name of Civilizations, one that was made like 3 or 4 years ago so I'm sure this is enough but maybe we could downsize abit more? The motherboard I'm suggesting looks very nice. . but has 0 comments which I like to read to get a feel for products, anyone know bout it? The motherboard needs core unlocking/ACC functions for the 555. I have 4GB of ram for this but maybe 2GB is all that is needed and is how we can cut back some? Any and all suggestions appreciated.
Will be running Windows 7 x64 (x86 if we think 2gb is fine) and resolution is unknown.
