A friend of me maybe wants to buy a new computer, but he isn't sure which 1 yet. At a site he basically changed how he wnated it, but he only took a good processor and gfx card. He is wondering what you guys think about the specs and if he cna simply change gfx card and processor leaving all other computer objects alone. can you change wahtever you wnat in a computer and are the changes he made possible without getting bad fps? pls give your opinion.

That's a damn good computer. A lot of the tech on the computer is really new, which is going to drive the price up quite a bit. He might be better off dropping the specs a little unless he wants a really really badass computer.

Well he is going to spend alot of money on his computer, but which he wants to know is. He had a standard computer on a site in in the computer system he only took a better gfx card and processor. But can he just do that or is the system not going to run at max because he forgot another computer object that you have to change when you take a better processor and gfx card, because his system is going to run crappy or not as good as it should otherwise?

He'll probably want to get at least a 650w or 700w power supply if he doesn't have one already. Also, if he doesn't have a decent size case the graphics card might not fit.
