A friend and I were talking about possibly building him a PC sometime next year. Told him I could probably throw something together for around $1,500.00. Ideally this could/would last him for the next few years for his PC needs (gaming, music, media storage). So far I'm under budget, which is great, but was looking for thoughts on if anything could be swapped out or planned differently for a little more bang for your buck. Build still has plenty of time for development.
