So, as the title says, my friend wants to buy a new computer for when Civ V comes out, and he's asked me to help him find parts for one. Unfortunately, I haven't really been paying much attention to newer stuff, so I'm not quite sure what he should get. Therefore, I've come to ask everyone here .
Here are the parts I've selected so far:
Motherboard : ASUS P7H55-M Pro mATX H55 LGA1156 DDR3 PCI-16 PCI-E1 2PCI SATA2 HDMI DVI VGA GBLAN Motherboard
Processor: Intel Core i3 530 Dual Core Processor Clarkdale LGA1156 2.93GHZ Hyperthreading 4MB Cache Retail Box
RAM: Corsair CMV4GX3M2A1333C9 4GB DDR3 2X2GB DDR3-1333 CL9 Dual Channel Memory Kit
Now the thing is, he's very intent on not spending more than $ 80 on a video card (which I'm not even sure is possible for playing modern games). I'm guessing what comes integrated into that i3 is probably garbage for games too.
Anyone have any suggestions/comments .etc?
Thanks!
