Hi all,
I've been away from digit for quite sometime now .Seems a lot has changed around here.A friend of mine has decided to get a new rig.He DOES NOT require a new monitor,keyboard,speaker system etc.He already has them.He just needs the "main unit".He is not much into gaming and would probably play games like Fifa etc at the most.SO a mid range graphics card would suffice.The computer would be used for everyday and multimedia purposes.Could you guys suggest the best config for his budget.
Cheers,
Ram
