AMD build??

[Duke{CLR}]

I have a friend who would like a AMD machine, he is on a tight budget and sent me this parts list. I'm not sure about AMD specs so I was hoping that someone could check this list out. It will be a family PC and he would like to play games like BF3 on it.

I'm not going to post the other misc parts as they should all work OK.

Looks good from here. Not sure the PSU needs to be quite as meaty though.

I've just installed a HD7850 in my machine.

I came to the same conclusion after looking into it a but more and recommended a better PSU with less power. Ill let you know how the build goes.

He is building it he just wanted me to look over the parts for some reason, I'll try to get some from him. I wish I were building it though I gotta get my fix in.
